IBM

• Big company context: How a great company works, how their employers handle day-to-day problems, daily opportunity to work on IBM proprietary software.
• Very nice working environment. All people are really nice and try to help you when you need it.
• International experience, modern technologies. Probably the only big software laboratory you can find in Italy.

At the moment, in 2013, there weren't many chances to be hired at the end of your internship period.

I would advise to keep at least 50% of the interns that IBM spends time to grow. Otherwise, they will just find them in their competition when they are hired in other companies, thanks to the skills earned during their period at the software laboratory.
