Pros

The employees at IBM are very passionate about the projects they are working on. The projects are often on the front-line of innovation and exciting. With great people, good benefits, exciting projects, and a dedication to learn more and more each day, the internships here are remarkable.

Cons

There is a huge learning curve when you first start, where you'll have to be able to quickly adapt and learn new languages, platforms, extensions, tools, etc. in order to continuously be efficient with your time. Although the above wasn't really much of a con, just a good challenge/motivator, the floors here in Austin need to be renovated a little bit. It's kind of like being in the Twilight Zone with all the hallways and enclosed rooms.

Advice to Management

Invest in expanding the collaboration rooms. If the management plans on implementing the Spotify engineering culture, the employees are going to need a different work environment.

Also, invest in better break rooms. All I could ask for is to at least add a sink to the break room.
