Group work throughout the day with a single individual interview. Also had to complete preliminary testing online, some form of aptitude tests. Travelled to their campus to complete the assessment day in a group of around 15 - 20
Assessment centre was online, which felt like they were trying to cut corners. I fit the job requirements and got rejected for being not “technical enough”. The candidate they hired added me on LinkedIn, they had the same degree with similar experience. Conflicting opinion from the recruiter, the recruiter was quick however a bit cold.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at IBM in Nov 2023
Interview
A group experience and individual presentation task along with a chance to talk to current placement students. Overall a good experience, everything was clear before hand with good communication and support.
Very good interview process, recruiters were very friendly and made the process feel comfortable. Had a brief interview with a team manager then had an assessment day with around 5 other candidates
