Software Engineer, Backend Interview Experience

September 1, 2018
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

There was no transparency in the process and no clarity on the status of the application.

I was informed that I had received an offer from IBM through an SMS. Later, on a phone call, I was told that the joining date for the position was very far in the future, and I was asked if I would be interested in other roles with earlier joining dates. I was told I would need to interview again for the new role. Despite agreeing to the request, there was no follow-up. I was only informed that I was not selected for the position months later.
