Yes, a lot of the work/reporting I did was used/shown to senior members of UKI Finance. I had to run meetings with over 150 attendees and lead meetings with senior finance members.

A great amount of support & guidance, my task manager was incredibly supportive and encouraged me to grow/develop my skills & eminence. Foundation team were also very supportive and made every effort to be available for interns in their support, they were also very encouraging in celebrating your success.
Culture
Fantastic, the majority of IBM staff, regardless of how senior, are very approachable, affable and supportive. The company culture at IBM is inclusive and collaborative. One of the nicest cultures/atmospheres of any company out there I believe.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed the placement a huge amount, staff were supportive/approachable and had my career development in focus. The periphery opportunities at IBM eg. learning and global networking are fantastic, I have met with people I didn't think would be possible as an intern. The work I do for my team is complex and rewarding, my colleagues and line manager demonstrated the results my work made on a regular basis also.
Yes
Showcase your innovation and passion for technology and the company. Make use of the networking opportunities at this global company.
