    The Role

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

    • There is a lot of opportunity to have a very enjoyable placement at IBM. The job role I was placed in didn't suit me as well, so it was not enjoyable at times, but there was plenty of options to go out and find better work.

    3/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Very valued by some, less so by others.

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

    • Management not so much, but my Early Professionals Manager (pastoral supervisor) was always supportive and available to help me

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

    • Depended on the time of year; sometimes very busy, sometimes not so much. There is always education/opportunities to take part in if you didn't have much on in your role.

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

    • I didn't get a lot of responsibility. I would have enjoyed it more if I had.

    2/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I have learned a lot on placement, they won't help in my degree but beyond they will be invaluable.

    4/5

    The Company

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

    • Depends who was around! Some members of the team were lots of fun, others took the atmosphere down. IBM is a remote working company so you can never predict who will be in the office.

    4/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Very well organised.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • A lot. There are lots of options to improve yourself and your skills

    5/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Flexi Time

    Working from home
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I only want to apply to one role, but that is because of my preferences, not because I do not want to work for IBM again. I have applied at this stage and there is opportunity to be fast-tracked.

    4/5

    The Culture

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

    • Very good. One of my favourite aspects

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

    • Expensive. I lived at home so cannot comment on living.

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

    • Great. Its London.

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

    • Yes, but sometimes they were not advertised enough.
