  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    7/10

  • 4. How valued do you feel by IBM?

    7/10

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • We have formal training once every 6 months and that is about it, I feel that there could be more structure in order to try and achieve the end goal of passing the apprenticeship.

    7/10

  • 9. Would you recommend IBM to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • As long as the apprenticeship does not change from how it is run currently (by a significant margin) in regards to pay and training I feel it can be a good experience.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to IBM?
  • Be different and showcase what you do that no one else can. IBM reviewers like to see someone who has some unique ideas and will give you a good talking point!
