Really interesting internship with a very fun, intern focussed environment
Fantastic experience with brilliant people.
Lots of responsibility and a great range of work. Excellent opportunities given throughout, most of which you wouldn't find on other placements.
This was an experience of a lifetime.
Really enjoyable experience
I had a challenging, and yet an amazing experience working in this multinational corporation. Even though I was a remote worker, working on a client site for 15 months, My Professional Development Manager was always on call. The level of training was excellent and as a student I was enrolled on courses where colleagues were attending from global branches. I impressed my colleagues as a result of networking during the recognised IBM supplier negotiation technique program and got fantastic feedback where some colleagues stated interest to work with me in South Africa! I was offered an opportunity to participate on a vital client audit and was appreciated on the UKI executive level as well as given the opportunity to shadow the CEO.In IBM there truly are no limits to participation, progression, increase eminence and impress executives as well as fully realise your potential and get to "try out" a grad role with real responsibilities and a fantastic team-on for size!
Loved working at IBM. Great relaxed atmosphere, a lot of focus on development of placement students, very sociable.
The placement was very good to gain an insight of what a full-time IT job was like. The work however was very repetitive and soon become boring doing the same thing day in day out.
I thoroughly enjoyed my placement year and would recommend the IBM placement scheme. During my year I was given an enjoyable job role where I was given a lot of responsibility. My colleagues during my placement were second to none.
I really got to do a lot of what I learnt in school and was given the opportunity to add value to the company. This was definetly not a fetch coffee and filing job.
Job involved a lot of responsibility, which was good, but workload was very heavy at times and very high pressure.
I loved my work placement. I got so much out of it and it is as good as you make it.
Loved it, it was better than expected :)
The job was challenging at times but a lot of support was provided to me from management and other colleagues. I really enjoyed it.
Overall it was good, great insight in the business
The work was varied and the people were brilliant.
