Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
On a scale of 10, I enjoyed 7/10. I was very disappointed to learn that IBM doesn't accept graduate visas and it is very difficult to get visa sponsorship through the company at a grad level.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend IBM to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to IBM
- Be proactive in seeking what you want to explore and learn instead of getting stuck doing things you don't think are value additions.
- Ask, ask and ask. If you don't ask you don't get.
- if you are an international student, don't keep your expectations high for a job back as IBM does not accept graduate visas and it is very hard to get visa sponsorship.
