BPM Consultant at IBM
No Offer – Interviewed in Austin, TX Sep 2012 – Reviewed Mar 2, 2013
Interview Details – Had an on campus interview which consisted of process mapping and checking code. Invited to Austin for an Onsite interview. Had 3 rounds of interviews by consultants with about 1.5 years experienced. All asked technical questions (process mapping and creating programing in pseudo code) and light behavioral questions. Received a product demonstration and was taken out to lunch. Was told after the interview that all offers had been given out but I had passed and if space opened up they would give me a call. Got an email one month later that all spots in the program were filled.

IBM Sales at IBM
No Offer – Interviewed in Coppell, TX Sep 2012 – Reviewed Oct 9, 2012
Interview Details –
Contacted because my resume was in their database She was NOT prepared and had not looked at my resume. As we spoke, I asked questions about 2% revenue growth and decreasing market share- 15 % to about 3% in about 3 years.
I could tell she was eating her lunch.
After 10 to 15 mins, I had to get off the phone call.
I knew I wouldn't get along with her and she probably wouldn't want to work with me. Also of note: She wasn't sure what kind of a sales role it would be.
