I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Raleigh, NC) in Nov 2024
Interview
Was asked a really weird question for first round coding screen which I could not solve but seemingly no one else could either.
Second round was 4 hours of 45 minute back to back interviews with different members of the hiring team. Half coding questions and half discussing my research.

Question 1
One of the coding question was really simple pandas syntax but pandas was not mentioned anywhere in the job description for this position.
I have been asked about my visa status and my application has not progressed due to not supporting a Graduate visa. IBM does not support Graduate visa for the position and unable to sponsor a working visa.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at IBM in Oct 2021
Interview
There were 4 rounds of interviews, the last one being a 2 day long set of a dozen interviews with different members of the team. I had to take off work for these two days in order to interview, and ultimately they decided to ghost me. They said I should hear something within two weeks, a month later and nothing, and the recruiter and people on the team have ignored my emails. Extremely rude company, and awful experience. Those are two vacation days I am never getting back, absolutely abysmal experience.
