Pros

As an intern, they really help to focus on the "intern experience" by providing ways for you to grow your network and experience what it's like to be a working professional. You are also expected to know nothing when you first start, so that is very nice. Also, depending on what team you work for, the working environment is very laid back, which is nice. The pay is based on credits completed in school, too, so as you earn more credits you get the chance to increase your compensation.

Cons

It's a big company, so all the corporation stuff is kind of a hassle. You do learn a lot, but about IBM things. Some of it is real-world applicable, but a lot of what you learn in your daily work is very specific to IBM and the project you are working on.

Also, depending on your preferred working style, working in cubicles might not be the best for you.

Advice to Management

I think the intern program at IBM is excellent!

I have told all my friends about this experience and that they should try it.

I love that you are focused on us, as interns, and our experiences with IBM.
