    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • At IBM, dependent on your manager, you are allowed to work flexibly throughout your placement so sometimes the office could be quiet. However a few locations have large amounts on Interns to provide you with some friendly faces throughout the day
