I applied online. I interviewed at IBM (Armonk, NY) in Sep 2020
Interview
Applied online through the IBM career website, and a few weeks got contacted for an initial interview with the hiring manager. Even though the interview was very simple, and the hiring manager was very nice and professional, the whole communication process was disrespectful and a complete mess . It was impossible to ever communicate with the direct corporate recruiter for this role, and instead my only point of contact was with a recruiting assistant in India, who was not aware of anything about the role. Months later after I got a generic email in which they told me that I was not being considered for the role any more,
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about your experience dealing with international stakeholders.
Long process. really only asked about abilities to gain new business and did I have close contacts to get insight into competition. Not a lot about the actual PM job and what that meant as far as execution
The interview process, while quick and efficient, did not reflect the position after I was hired. I was asked what I imagine the job being, and after spending 3 months in the job, I realized that they let me believe the job while they didn’t have a good definition for the role. Even though the job was in emerging tech, be honest to who you’re thinking about hiring with what they’d spend their day to day doing. Lying about expectations or not being clear can really hurt someone.

Interview
Online video interview followed by a interview with hiring manager after bring contacted by recruiter. Short turnaround time for response.
I found the hiring manager to be hard to connect with; interview questions were a bit odd and felt very disorganized. I think I just did not vibe with the person, seemed a little stiff don't know if it was the right culture fit for mw. The interview itself was not hard very basic question but felt very unstructured
