  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

    • I do nothing in short. It is a waste of time. I don't like wasting time.

    1/10
  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • The company culture as its some what ridged and old fashioned.

    2/10
  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • I don't. It feels like cheap labour. I am a go getter and have big aspirations but I am being limited and told I can't even do the simplest tasks.

    1/10
  • 4. How valued do you feel by IBM?

    • Not at all. Management ignore you (PDM and others).

    1/10
  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • Poor. There doesn't seem to be any clear structure to follow.

    1/10
  • 6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?

    • I get as much support as I want which is a real plus.

    6/10
  • 6b. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • There is lots of support but none of it on a personal basis. One to one time is hard come by. There are however loads of resources online.

    2/10
  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?

    • Badly. Salary does not meet travel needs. This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyApprenticeship Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions

    1/10

    • Mainly volunteering.

    2/10

    • I wouldn't want others to waste time like I do.
