IBM

This company is very active in making sure that interns have a chance to be involved at work and also in the community. They organize a group specifically for interns to network and participate in fun events, such as volleyball, beach days, and happy hours.

The pay is higher than expected. The work is entertaining, and I definitely picked up a few new things from my short time here.

This might not be everyone's case, but I received little direction on what they expected out of my project. A lot of the decisions were made by me, and then they just went with it. As an intern, a little more direction would have been appreciated. Also, they assigned a leader to me that is always busy. He has meetings all day, every day. This makes it hard to get changes approved and questions answered.

Assign a leader to the intern that will have more time to contribute. My leader is always busy with meetings, and there is no chance in ever getting project questions answered.

This makes it frustrating to come to work sometimes, and I feel like time is wasted trying to find an answer.
