    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • Good placement with a variety of working options to build skills. Task managers are keen to get interns involved at all stages, however I do know of some interns who are very quiet.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • There was a lot of opportunity for me to make a difference, so I have felt valued by my team. I have been rewarded through being able to join team members in a trip to Amsterdam and, hopefully, the US.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • IBM has a very strong support system - with professional care being provided through EPM's and daily tasks being managed via a separate Task Manager. People were always on hand to help.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • There were quiet periods, particularly at the start of the year, however it quickly ramped up.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Lots of responsibility, particularly on client site. I was allowed to help the client with a lot of queries and I didn't feel that everything I did/said needed checked - suggesting that I was trusted

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I have learnt a lot of valuable skills and been given a really great opportunity for learning and gaining an insight into industry.
