Managing Consultant at IBM

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in New York, NY Apr 2011 – Reviewed Jun 12, 2011

Interview Details – The interview process was a bit longer than usual. It mainly consisted of phone interviews since everyone is remote. I was asked questions regarding my technical and business process background. This consisted of 5 phone interviews prior to an offer being made. Everyone was pretty easy and wanted to understand my background and how it could fit with their current needs.
