I really enjoyed my placement year at IBM. My role was very diverse, and I managed a wide variety of tasks. I had exposure to management, suppliers and buyers from all lines of business. Although I had no knowledge or experience of Procurement, this did not matter and I learned a lot on the job.

I thoroughly enjoyed my placement at IBM. It offered exciting challenges that allowed me to develop personally and professionally. All throughout the year I was enjoying my roles, the people I interacted with and the large amounts of opportunities to get involved in. From starting new projects to even giving back to others through giveback schemes.

This year has allowed me to get a grasp on what it is like working for a blue chip company and the exposure you would expect on a placement - as well as getting an enormous amount of connections. My start of the year was in a role which ended which I was happy about because I didn't enjoy it. Furthermore, I then got the placement role of my dreams, which has been 10/10.

During my placement at IBM I was challenged and felt valued by my team. The Foundation placement scheme was well organised and provided plenty of opportunity both professionally and socially, helped by being based in their London location. I have really enjoyed my time working here and hope to be accepted into their graduate program.

The work I completed was both eye opening and enjoyable, the work life balance that came from this role as well was amazing. I'm not saying IBM is laid back and relax but it works on the facts that if you get your work done and make sure you are being the best you possible then you don't have to stress, it created a very stress free and enjoyable environment to be in.

I enjoyed my placement very much as it definitely has given me an opportunity to experience working in a corporate environment. That said, it further developed my skill-set from university and put it into good use at the workplace. At IBM, you will get different experiences in IBM's technology which will definitely heighten your technical knowledge.

I did really enjoy my placement at IBM, the workload was manageable, there were only a few times where I would have to spend time outside of the normal 9am-5pm. The environment at Hursley was vey welcoming and warm. Everyone for the most part was very good to work with.

I thoroughly enjoyed my placement year with IBM, for a number of reasons. First, you are doing vital work, and from the first day you are given real responsibility, in a manageable load. So you make an impact straight away but crucially you are not overwhelmed, and there is a lot of support both professionally and personally through the two manager system (line and task) Secondly, it's more than just a job, the number of social events surprised me, from celebrating Diwali with our Indian colleague, to an intern boat party of the Thames, there is so much opportunity to network with many levels of the business, and experience the IBM community. Thirdly, you are not left in the blue, from the start of the application process, you know where you are, and what the next steps are. Once you start, again the progression is clear and if there is ever a time you what to change role, the managers are very accommodating for this. I would recommend this opportunity to anyone - your degree or experiences are not important, it is your drive to learn that is important.
