I have an offer to join Google Engineering Residency and have a Full time offer from IBM

Google is my dream job after college but is Engineering Residency safe option in terms of conversion to a full time role.
What is the general conversion ratio?

A little about me: I only have 3 months of internship experience. And I am a Fall 2018 graduate so coming right out of college.

    Why go for a glorified internship when you can work full time. Residency means failed interview; how will your colleagues who studied their asses off and actually passed their interviews even respect you. Google is built upon elitism. You are not elite. You will be tasked with 3am pages and then politely shown the door at 6 month mark and replaced with another resident.

    I only ran across a few eng res when I was at Google, but they all converted to full time and I never saw them treated as inferior as uber. suggested.

      No. Before I had started my interview for SE they contacted me for Engineering Residency. I asked them that I have started SWE and they said they would not want me to proceed with that and rather do Engineering Residency. I never interviewed for SWE

    Which team did you get offer from IBM? It really depends on what team you will be in and what you will be working on

      They have hired me in a general Front end developer role and said that they’ll assign a team before 60 days on joining
