Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - Canada

Process

First, I completed an OA, which was similar to an IQ test. After one month, I received an onsite interview invitation, which lasted roughly 45 minutes.

There were no technical questions; it was more of a conversation discussing projects I had worked on and previous experiences.

After the interview, I waited two weeks with no news. I tried to follow up with the recruiter but received no response. I followed up again, still nothing. It has now been almost two months with no update, and the portal still says "in consideration".

This has been a very bad experience with the IBM recruiter. Providing interview results is the least one can do to show respect to a candidate. Working as a recruiter, you represent the company. Please stop ghosting candidates and be respectful.
