Here's a breakdown of the interview process:

• Initial call with recruiter
• First call with managers
• IBM Cognitive Ability Assessment
• Final call with management

There were literally weeks of time between each of these calls, which is not normal.

For a company that prides itself on processes, has a huge team, and a streamlined hiring procedure like IBM, waiting weeks for a response makes me wonder about it even before starting to work for them.

Standard questions, nothing serious:

• Describe achievements.
• Tell us about a failure in your career and how you handled it.
• Why do you want this job?
