Process

I spoke with a recruiter at a career fair. A week later, they emailed me back. Another week after the email, I had a phone conversation with the recruiter and another person. They primarily asked me about my resume.

I had to take a critical thinking test, which I thought I had performed poorly on. However, within two weeks, they invited me to visit their campus in Rochester. There, I spoke with the recruiter for about half an hour.

Following that, I met with a team of approximately 10 people from various parts of that division. The atmosphere was incredibly laid-back. The conversation with the team focused on their experiences with IBM and a bit about my background; it felt more like a discussion than a formal interview.

They extended a very reasonable offer, the highest I received. Ultimately, I accepted an offer from a different company whose work I find more engaging, as their work sounded somewhat dry.
