I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at IBM (Guadalajara, Jalisco) in Jun 2011
Interview
It takes around 2 months, first someone form RH talked to you to corroborate your experience and english skills, then an interview with a local manager to know more about your experience, and explain more about the position offering, the local manger arranges an inteview with a member of the local team, then two more interviews with team members of the global team, I got an inteview with some one from India and one more with someone from USA. All these are to validate your experience: " what has been the most difficult situation you have faced during your carrier", " what are your attributes and defects", " are you creative, why?", etc. In the meantime you need to apply for an IQ/English exam online.
Then a final interview with the functional manager that is basically a "Welcome" to let you know you are accepted and to notify that an offer will be provided.

Other Senior Project Manager Interview Reviews for IBM
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at IBM (Kraków) in Nov 2024
Interview
The process was 3 interviews in total, one with the hiring manager, another with the Software Engineering manager and final one with a peer Senior Product Manager.
I had a bad experience of not being even notified when the interviews were going to be scheduled, I needed to by myself and other interactions with other recruiters at IBM find who was assigned for this position and ask to schedule the interviews as my application appeared in “Interviews” stage but no one had reached me out before I did.
After the interviews were done, a time of 4 weeks passed and I didn’t have any feedback, status update nor reason of why I wasn’t selected rather than just the automated email that I was not participating anymore, which I found it very unprofessional keeping in mind I was actively asking for any status.
Even if I wouldn’t be the selected person that’s fine but at least explain the reasons so an individual can improve for any other future opportunity.
Communication with the recruiter was very poor and inconsistent, hence my really bad experience on the process for this role.
