Big Data Engineer Interview Experience - Bengaluru, India
Process
Got a call from a recruiter. They asked the basic questions, and the interview was scheduled.
There was one technical round and one managerial round.
The technical round went well.
However, the manager was literally an idiot. Instead of discussing IBM, he started discussing my other offer (I had one offer) and how much fixed salary I could get from that offer after removing variable pay. Finally, that idiot guy asked me whether I would agree to a hike on my current company salary (for which I was working). I immediately said no, dropped from the meeting, and gave feedback to HR.
Even the HR knew the panel was rude, yet she scheduled an interview with him. It was a waste of time and energy.

IBM Work Experiences
- 4.0UNEXPECTED SPIN OFFBig Data Engineer • Current EmployeeBengaluru, Karnataka, IndiaApril 3, 2021Pros: As long as you're not an IBM GTS employee or a GBS employee like me working on an IBM GTS project, everything else looks fine. As a GBS Employee, you have a lot of perks like: * Bluepoints with which you can buy things. * Free subscription to Udemy (everyone) and Coursera (only if you're part of AI studies). * Good corporate structure to curb micromanagement. * Good work-life balance. * GBS associates have numerous learning opportunities, which is quite different for a GTS employee.Cons: There's no clear-cut demarcation that IBM GBS employees working with GTS clients (future NewCo) will continue to be IBM GBS employees and support NewCo projects. This is not fair for a GBS employee who had to sit for an arduous coding interview only to be considered later (if taken under NewCo without consent) along with GTS associates, who would have joined with a non-coding background. All the sleepless nights spent on studying, toiling, and studying numerous frameworks and languages in efforts to bear a good brand name on their resume would all be gone in a single minute. It's such a morale-pulling act during these bleak COVID times.
