    Support & Guidance

  • 4. How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

    • Yes

  • 8. What advice would you give to others applying to IBM

    • Best decision I made, it is a great place to start your career. HR and TA are very supportive and will work hard to ensure that you are placed in the most appropriate part of the business for you. Take your time to learn about the company, and make sure that you are passionate before you apply. There are a lot of people who are very passionate about the work IBM does, this is very obvious in interviews.
