    The Role

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

    • My year at IBM gave me a great insight into working life. They have a well structured scheme in place for University placement students and there is so much opportunity to branch out.

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

    • My team made me feel very welcome & gave me a lot of responsibility in the business very early on.

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

    • The structure at IBM makes sure that you always have a point of call if you ever need it. Having someone there was really beneficial when wanting to do other tasks & branch out into other areas of IBM.

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

    • Due to many financial processes being monitored on a quarterly/monthly basis this meant that there were quiet periods. I appreciated this as it meant that I had more time exploring other areas within IBM & looking into the graduate schemes for when I finished placement.

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • For an intern I was given much more experience than I would have thought I would be. Despite this, there was always someone to talk to if there was an issue or I needed support.

    3/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • It has really helped me to distinguish where my main skill sets lie and what I would like to explore more when I am

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • The office that I was based in is extremely quiet & this meant that it was demotivating at times. When I ventured up to the offices in London, it was a completely different story & it was lovely to see the huge amounts of enthusiasm from the different employees. This has allowed me to identify where I would like to be based as a graduate.

    5/5

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