The IBM Incubator Program (now known as PATTERNS) is based in Austin, TX but sources projects from IBM teams across the globe for incubation. The program runs year-round, encompassing multiple project sizes (four to six weeks).
The program is targeted toward interns, new graduates and professionals with one to two years of experience. Each project pairs a cross-disciplinary team of new IBMers with a project sourced from IBM business units for incubation.
