Process
There were 3 rounds: aptitude, programming, and HR. Actually, there were 4 rounds; business writing was also included. It was good.
It is a long-established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout.

IBM Work Experiences
1.0
Long Hours, No Core
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Raleigh, North Carolina, United States
May 29, 2017
Pros: Higher pay compared to some. About on par for other large companies, though.
PTO/Health is very standard.
Cons: Long working hours, based on team. It seems fairly consistent that most are asked to regularly work 50+ hours, especially salaried employees.
The "IBM way" phrase that gets thrown around is their way of saying "work longer, for no extra pay, because you work for IBM," which clearly means you're superior to the competition and should be proud.
They have no real structure or company goals other than money.
In my orientation class, they actually said, "What does IBM do? We don't know, but help us define it." They actually do not have any core.
Others:
* You won't be able to move within the company. If you do well, your boss will not allow you to move, which they must sign off on.
* Consistent fear of RAs for many.
* They are very sneaky in their hiring process, in terms of their expectations of you.
