Overview
We started the day with a standup during which each team member would give an update on the status of the user stories they were working on. After this I would code for the rest of the morning. In the afternoon I would often take the opportunity to discuss the project with my tech leads to absorb knowledge from them.
Skills
Yes- IBM provides a multitude of opportunities to learn new skills using the Your Learning platform. In addition, through my role as a developer I learn a lot 'on the job' where I have learnt both new skills and developed existing skills. IBM has also sponsored me to sit the AWS Solutions Architect certification
Responsibilities
Yes- I had frequent 1-to-1 meetings with the client and I was able to take responsibility for development of major sections of a production application.
Support & Guidance
A lot - the support from my team, in particular my tech leads, my manager and other interns has been unmatchable. Everyone at IBM is super happy to support you no matter how senior they may be.
Culture
Brilliant
Your Impressions
