I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at IBM
Interview
The recruitment team was very professional and prompt in scheduling the interview.
The actual interview experience was disappointing — the video call was conducted in a distracting environment due to constant background noise from the interviewer’s end, which affected the quality of the interaction. Additionally, when I inquired about the project, I was directed to review the company website rather than being provided with meaningful insights during the interview.

Interview
I applied online and was sent an assessment to complete. Never heard anything back. I don't think anyone at IBM is reviewing these assessments even though your application status will read "Assessment in Progress". I would advice others to not waste their time completing these "assessments".
