I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Toronto, ON) in Nov 2015
Interview
The hiring process includes a social mixer where they screen for candidates to interview for the final round. The final interview was with an associate and a partner of the company, they asked questions that were not on the interview sheets and did not record anything, but the conversation overall was very laid back. Had to ask the Hiring Manager for a quick follow-up since I had another offer pending, and they got back to me within 3 days telling me that they were very interested in me and for me to wait for the contracts and the process to finalize. Never heard back from the company despite numerous follow-ups until I got a rejection letter two months later, thus the very negative and unprofessional experience.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at IBM (São Paulo, São Paulo) in Oct 2025
Interview
A entrevista foi dividida em duas etapas e foi tranquila. Porém, na primeira entrevista, a vaga tinha um escopo. Na segunda etapa, a vaga ganhava um escopo totalmente diferente. Com a quebra de expectativa, não senti segurança em continuar o processo seletivo e declinei a continuação.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Foram perguntas técnicas sobre a minha atuação profissional e foram fáceis de responder. Propuseram um teste, mas optei por não realizá-lo, pois desisti de continuar o processo seletivo.
first round: english written test （gre level）
second round: meet with manager of the project, asked about cv and some behavioral question.
third round: meet with manager and partner, self-introduction, talk about a related project i have done before, some behavirol question, doing a presentation
difficult they asked very technical questions and some behavioral. Some if them had nothing to do with the role so it caught me off guard a bit and it was tedious
