Poor social life, Poor mentorship, didn't feel that i'm in a multinational company
Pros: - good work life balance
- no work stress
Cons: - Very poor Mentorship during my internship, in terms of requirements, or keeping up or things you learn during your internship. specially with interns if you are not self motivated you wont get any requirements nor guidance. 
- Very poor social life, i spend most of the days talking to no one, going to eat alone, working alone. no common activities, during my 6 month internship there was one social event, i got even invitation with an email in German language ( although my German is not that good and everyone knows about it) 
- Very common that in coffee breaks, people around speak in German and keep you totally isolated. 
- Although everyone knew that i don't speak German, i got  a contract in German language, when i asked the HR for translation or even a pdf text copy of the contract so i use google translator !! , they said they don't have one !!
- HR also refused to help me finding an apartment
- Tons of Emails in German you get everyday, even direct emails considering issues in your laptop. 
- Catering machines don't have English labels
- IBM buildings are getting very old and depressing, they are very far from stuttgart city. either to stay in beoblingen city or spend around 40 mins everyday to arrive to work Everymorning
