A 2009 Update...
Pros: - Big projects with big clients
- Not hit by the credit crunch as badly as rivals in the marketplace
- Still investing in training budgets and not laying of lots of staff in the UK
Cons: - Payrises and promotions frozen for a year in the UK. A limited promotions cycle is apparently happening but with no payrises
- Salaries at the lower levels are not increasing as much as they should, and new graduates now start on more than many current employees (despite the aforementioned pay freeze)
- Removal of the final salary for older employees demonstrates the changes to the atmosphere at IBM where things are more individually focused.
