    The Role

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

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

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

    • I found that during my stay at IBM there was always someone at hand who could either help me or point me in the direction of someone else if they could not. My colleagues here were both supportive and friendly throughout, so this in turn allowed me to settle into the workplace role more quickly.

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

    • At IBM I found a lot of the time I would get a heavy amount of work across the space of a few weeks rather than throughout the year. However, I found this always kept me on my toes and those periods where I didn't have that much on gave me a chance to plan and organise for the upcoming weeks.

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • I was based at London South Bank with over 100 interns and so there was an impressive social aspect in and outside the office.

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • As it's London, it was never going to be cheap! However there are very nice and lively places to go nearby in terms of eating, socialising etc.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • 5/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?
