I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at IBM (Bengaluru) in Jun 2009
Interview
Got the interview scheduled from an agency. IT was preety simple my case . went and met the employer. interviw was around 1 hour . Questions asked were limited to what I do .. on day to day basis and basis project management techniques. suggestions will be please genuin in what you say. And prepare your resume well. Questions will be in and around resume. Best of luck.
Recruiter emailed a questionnaire, then it was a loop with the hiring manager, his Director and an Engineering Manager. They asked for references before the job offer, which is odd and inconvenient
I applied online. I interviewed at IBM (Texas City, TX)
Interview
First round is conducted by the team leader and questions are typically general. Asked a lot about vibe cooding and AI Product Management which is normal and predictable. Not prefer standarlized answers, it's better to connect with your own experience but keep it short.
