Process
I was referred by an IBM director and had a phone interview with the hiring manager about a month later.
The hiring manager requested a technical exercise using one of IBM's core engines as part of the technical review.
I presented the results via webinar to a panel of technical professionals.
I did not hear back after a few weeks regarding an offer.
Questions
I presented my R&D works and technical exercise. The hiring manager was quite impressed. The hard part was the salary negotiation, which I went through with two hiring managers due to an internal reorganization.
