Emailed by recruiter about a week after applying, asking if I was still interested.

Set up a phone screen for the following week.

The recruiter emailed before the scheduled date to cancel and offer the link to a coding challenge instead.

The recruiter never emailed the link and did not respond to follow-up emails.

Spoke with IBM reps at a career fair and was told the position was still open. They advised me to send another email and CC them.

The recruiter responded, saying they had lost track of me.

Finally, they sent the link to a coding challenge consisting of four questions and behavioral questions, all to be completed virtually through HireVue.

I managed to answer one question, but the rest were very challenging.
