IBM

As a software engineer intern at IBM, you're welcomed with open arms by people who trust you. I have a lot (more than I expected) of freedom regarding managing my time and commitments, which makes this job perfect to combine with studying. I get to participate in exciting projects and take courses of my own choosing, as long as they provide me with relevant skills.

There's not much direct mentoring.

We mostly work in teams of interns in sales processes, and not necessarily together with professional development teams.

We get to figure out a lot ourselves, which can be both good and bad.

Also, the organization is very large.

Sometimes it might feel like you don't have a lot of impact on the big picture, even though you might get a lot of responsibility in the small picture.

Let interns work more closely with professional software engineers, allowing them to develop relevant skills for future consulting or product development work.
