Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend IBM to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to IBM
Be yourself, By being yourself you tend to be likable to a lot of colleagues in the workplace which then will give you more opportunities to learn & gain more experience.
I would also say embrace being outside your comfort zone as you tend to learn a lot about yourself.
