IBM

Excellent, well-rounded experience in all areas of software development, especially as an intern.

Was allowed to work from home for the entire duration, starting from the pandemic, which was really convenient.

Compensation for the internship was better relative to other Canadian internships.

Internship is very team/product dependent, as you may have a really good experience because the team/product you're working in/on has lots of opportunities or uses the latest tech.

I know friends who hated their internships here mainly because they didn't have the same opportunities I had, as I was on a fairly new product that used a modern tech stack.

If you're reading this before your IBM internship review, ask clearly about the work that you're going to be doing in your role and the future outlook of the product. Also, ask what kind of work previous interns did and if it's something that you're interested in.

This will increase your chances of having a way better internship.

More one-on-one meetings with interns. More feedback.

Interns are at a very important part in the starting of their careers, and so the earlier constructive feedback comes in, the quicker they can implement it to help them further develop their professional careers.
