Full Stack Developer Review

It was a fantastic journey with a lot of opportunities. I've gained invaluable skills throughout this year, both technical and personal. I would recommend the experience to every young student looking to get a job as a software engineer.

The environment around the Hursley site is has been incredible. With a large amount of undergraduate students, a lot of the atmosphere around the campus felt almost like I never left university. The work:social balance is fantastic, with every employee remaining professional and polite while still being helpful and having fun.

My role consisted of a lot of self learning and un-managed work, this resulted in a lot of changes to how support and guidance was given to me. Having the ability to speak to an Early Professional Development Manager at all times was extremely helpful and provided a fantastic safety net, even if it wasn't necessarily used.

The tasks and work I performed were largely performed on my own initiative, allowing me the flexibility and freedom of working at my own pace, providing that I met deadlines.

I owned a product from the inception to the full release. I couldn't have asked for much more trust than that.

I've gained invaluable skills throughout this year, both technical and personal. I've spent a large amount of time researching new technology stacks and I've had the opportunity to perform in front of experienced members of staff, as well as talk with prospective clients. I wouldn't have been able to get that from many other companies.

Banter, games and we had a basketball hoop. Couldn't have asked for better company.

Overall the placement went seemlessly and I got surprised when March rolled around and I realised I was here only for a few more months. The only negative I would give is the slightly large amount of paperwork, which however I realise is necessary in such a large corporation.

A lot of attention has been given to undergraduate students and every effort has been given to provide opportunities and support for them. I was treated as a normal employee and got the same respect as my older peers.

Applied back for a software engineering position as a graduate. I'd love to work for them again.

The atmosphere around the campus was great. The undergraduate placement student culture has been fantastic and I've made friends for life.

WInchester is not a place for night outs and can be rather expensive in terms of the cost of living However! Southampton is a choice and if you own a car, you won't be lacking for any opportunities.

Southampton is an option!

IBM provides huge employee opportunities in terms of sport and media activities. Every month there was something new!
