IBM

Great company to work for! A lot of pride goes behind being an IBMer, and that's what was mostly conveyed to me. I was given some really interesting projects and met fantastic people. I was treated like an equal as opposed to just an intern. My opinions were valued just as anyone else's!

The social experience was the most lacking. I was here for 8 months, and in the January-May stretch, I couldn't find any other interns or people my age. It was definitely a little disheartening. But the summer has made up for it!

As horrible as this sounds, people my age love free stuff. Mugs, t-shirts, sweatshirts, food, etc.

Also, more tours! There are so many IBM sites. I'm a sucker for anything hardware (mechanical engineer) and I'd love either a virtual tour or tours of other sites (the close ones).
