No two days on my placement have been the same and this kept it interesting.

My work placement has certainly been very enjoyable.
I thoroughly enjoyed my placement year at IBM. It was full of fantastic opportunities to work with some top clients, including Liverpool FC and NHS, and easy to gain recognition from senior members of staff. The environment within the company is fun and energising, especially within the Design department which I was in, and the culture is very accepting to anyone and everyone. I would definitely recommend IBM to anyone who is considering doing a placement year as a designer.
I had pleasure of working with an amazing, small team with the ability to grow my skills in many areas and work with a brilliant global network. I was given the opportunity to travel abroad and complete projects in many aspects of work. The offices are friendly environments and there was flexibility to work from home when needed. I felt like I had a responsibility when doing my job and took a major leadership role on one particular initiative.
My placement involved external activities outside my role where I was able to explore other opportunities that was supported by the company and the team. I have enjoyed my day to day role, being involved in all activities, but also enjoyed the fact I was able to be flexible and pushed to develop my skill set and knowledge.
I have absolutely loved my job at IBM. Although the job role wasn't what I expected (the job description was a bit vague), I have managed to learn so many new things, learn about different parts of the business and mold the role to become my role. I am so glad I have spent my year at IBM. It has been hard in places but it's been satisfying to know that my work is 'real' work and that it helps the business.
I really enjoyed my placement year here at IBM. Not only was I able to gain experience in multiple different areas such as project management, communication, auditing, and website design.

My placement with IBM has been the most valuable year of my life. Starting out in an internal role, I was responsible for collating data for weekly reviews which would be used for to make managerial decisions. As well as my internal role, I was able to work directly with our clients to get a feel for consulting ahead of a potential grad role.

I have enjoyed my placement to a great extent - I have grown both professionally and personally and have been challenged in many different ways.
I had a great time. My boss was great and the other employees working around me were really easy to get on with. I felt like i got alot out of the year and have come out a better person. My technical skills have improved drastically and the days passed really quickly.
I think that the job was pretty standard, however I was often finding there was not enough to do throughout the day and my manager was often busy so I would be left with no work to do for hours at a time. I was also the only person my age in the team so it felt quite lonely.
I thoroughly enjoyed my placement at IBM due to the people I worked with as well as the level of responsibility I was given. I feel as though I've had a true 'taste' of what having a professional job such as this one is like. I've developed a wide range of skills that will provide me with more choice in a job once I leave university.
