    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

    • My role on a day to day basis varied. Depending on the project / role I was doing. There is not rigorous set of repetitive tasks to complete which is a bonus

    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

    Support & Guidance

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

    Culture

  • 5. What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

    • The company culture is one of the best i’ve experienced. This is one of the real bonuses of IBM. The culture and support system is second to none for interns with loads of fun events outside of work and great opportunities.

    Your Impressions

  • 6. To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

    • I enjoyed my placement alot. I would highly recommend a placement at IBM due to the relaxed company culture yet the responsibility you are given. It is a great mix and perfect for an intern at their stage of their career.

  • 7. Would you recommend IBM to a friend?

    • Yes

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

    • I would give the advice of be yourself. Stay grounded. In the assessment centre research some tips that they like to see and try to implement them. Try to speak about yourself and what you’ve accomplished in life rather than boring educational and work achievements (even though they’re important) IBM are much more invested in you as a person.
