Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, the responsibilities I was given steadily increase as I became more familiar with my role. I went from just over looking and updating UK demands internally to taking charge of the US demands and the subcontractor process within the UK.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend IBM to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to IBM
Be confident and be yourself during the interview. It is also quite good to prepare a few good examples that you can share too.
Think about what you want to get out of the year if you are applying for a placement year because that way you have a direction in mind.
