I enjoyed my job role but there was often a lot of pressure to perform at a high standard in a short time frame
The placement I was given was nothing to do with my course even though I made a point of stressing thats what I wanted to be involved with I was chosen to fill a position more because of my past work experience rather then my actual university degree
Given a good level of responsibility and ownership Excellent opportunities given
I have really enjoyed the working environment of IBM The relaxed nature of Hursley offices has been great I have learned a lot in the year both personally and what it is like working for a big company
Great experience
The role was not as I expected but on the same note I did not dislike the role I was in Although I was on placement the company were very flexible and friendly
I enjoyed it so much that I extended my contract by 3 months
Lots of responsibility from day 1 given plenty of various tasks to do
IBM is a really great place to work I would advise it to anyone
I was an Events and Marketing Coordinator and although sometimes the role could be repetitive the fun and unique tasks I got to take part in more than made up for it
The work load was very heavy and due to shrinkage of the team there wasnt room to delegate At times this was extremely stressful though I appreciated being treated like a full employee
My Placement was enjoyable due to having good scope in my job role and being well respected by colleagues
Great learning the ropes at the start but got repetitive and boring towards the end
I feel that around 30 of my training was not tailored to my role
Thoroughly enjoyed my placement year with IBM due to extremely helpful and friendly team and the industrial placement community present
