The Role
One of the best years of my University Degree. IBM's community is second to none.
Sometimes I forget I'm an intern - I get treated like a full time employee and we all collaborate borderlessly in the Studio.
IBM is great at supporting us, no matter whether that is to improve on our design skills or personal skills. Nonetheless the huge support on side projects.
I rarely don't have anything to do. I have been on projects everyday and have thoroughly enjoyed it.
More than I thought at the beginning. It is great to be trusted even as a junior designer with limited experience. The chance to lead a client project says it all.
Hugely. It has broadened by digital design skills, but also client facing skills, communication skills, etc
The Company
Music is always playing in the studio, relaxing yet professional atmosphere.
Very well set up, everything is organised and planned out.
Hugely. Even side projects, no matter whether that is for IBM or for personal, they are very encouraging and supportive.
Flexi Time
Sports and Social Club
National Travel
Company Parties/Events
Very appealing. However aware that there will be a large pool of talented competition
The Culture
Yes, very sociable for both my team and intern community
Quite expensive especially being in the centre of London for the year.
Very lively and vibrant. Always something going on.
