Process
2-3 Months.
Passed HackerRank coding test. Called by a recruiter and scheduled a Webex interview with a Hiring Manager.
What a waste of my time! I prepared myself for the interview and spent about two weeks preparing. When the interview came, all the manager did was talk about himself and the job I was interviewing for. He then started questioning why I haven't had a job yet. I didn't have any time to go over and talk about my skills and qualifications.

Pros: Great opportunity to learn techniques regarding cloud databases. Nice WLB, but busy during working time. Senior developers were well-knowledgeable and willing to help with anything.
Cons: Some tools were historical; at other times, the learning curve is sharp.

It's a good place where you can learn
Back End Developer • Current Employee
Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico
February 10, 2020
Pros: - IBM has a lot of tools that you can use to solve your work problems without third parties. For example, they have their own SQL database, NoSQL database, IBM Cloud, etc.
- You get to work with a lot of people from whom you can always learn something.
- The IBM Campus in Guadalajara feels like a university. It's not just a big building with elevators and stuff; there are open spaces where you can sit and relax.
- They give you free transportation from a number of places to IBM and back to your house if there's a bus route near you.
Cons: Growth is not much of their interest.
As long as you can do the job, you're more than enough, even if it should be two or more people working with that.
Outsourcing.
You could leave today, and they're just going to find someone to replace you without even trying to change your mind.
