Software Engineer Interview Experience - Yorktown Heights, New York

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The process took four months.

There were two phone interviews and a nine-hour in-person interview at Yorktown Heights with twelve interviewers.

I would not consider the interview technical, but there were a handful of questions about basic computer science that only one person asked.

After I interviewed, the hiring manager ghosted me. After three emails to the hiring manager over the period of a month, he sent me a scripted response.

I would not recommend the quantum computing division of IBM.

The interviewers seemed intimidated by my PhD. I really don't know why I was asked to interview.
