  • Yes


  • 8. What advice would you give to others applying to IBM
  • To always think outside the box, don't go into something and looking at in a two dimensional way, try and change it a third or fourth way, be yourself no ones going to judge you, everyone you work with has a unique perspective on a lot of things and you'll most likely be no different either.
