I have received an offer from both of these and the offers are pretty much the same. Can any of you tell me which consultancy will be better for the following:1. As a respected name on my CV2. Pay increases / Bonuses3. Work / life balance4. Training / development5. Career progression(not listed in any particular order)Any advice / comments / insights etc would be greatly appreciated as I am stuck and time is running out to decide.Thanks in advance.

IBM has foundations in IT and Deloitte in finance. The history drives the brand, culture and career opportunities available.

Deloitte hands down on all fronts.

I would say that IBM is the one to go for. My experience is that they have much better / friendly people working for them and hence you are more likely to enjoy your work.

I would say that each has its own strength;1. Deloitte2. Deloitte3. IBM4. IBM5. About same

I think IBM is better on all accounts

How many have you had join from Deloitte recently then?We have had a few come the other way.I've no opinion on IBM (although I think they suffer from not naturally being associated with consulting so much as computers, and note they pay their graduates less) but they appear to suffer from a bad press on this board.

Don't go for IBM - their reputation is in tatters since all the PwC folk have gone

Pls see below - these are facts not mere comments by individuals with biasIBMi) Dingy officesii) No affliation with the US IBM hence don't be mistaken by the overall rep and focus on its UK one which is pooriii) Pay is on the lower endiv) Known as a techie consultancy Deloittei) Comfortable offices - u wont feel miserable at work unlike IBMii) Good rep - not in the strat league but considered second bestiii) Pay is above marketiv) considered more an operations/strat consultancy
