I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IBM in Mar 2013
Interview
Two phone interviews and one face to face. Pretty easy going and informal. Don't think there was a formal process set up for the role I applied for. The psychometric was pretty strange too.
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.

Question 1
What's your favorite coding tool and could please walk me through your worflow?
Fluido, humano, foco em experiência e resultados. Foi um processo um pouco lento, embora sempre recebi feedback do início até o fim. Fui entrevistado pelo gestor quem foi respeitoso, gentil e profissional.
Got a link to a platform where you were asked to answer a series of questions. The answers had to be recorded, every answer was supposed to be answered in less than 3 minutes. Beforehand, the advice was given to prepare using the STAR framework.
Important: once started, you can only interrupt the process once, since they don't want you to have unlimited preparation time for the answers. If it gets interrupted (e.g. due to network connectivity or by closing the tab) a second time, the process is stopped and your interview is basically aborted.
