I had a wonderful interview experience with IBM. The interviewer was incredibly friendly and took the time to explain the exact day-to-day responsibilities of an accountant at the company in great detail. This gave me a very clear and realistic picture of the role and the team culture.
Beyond just assessing my skills, the interviewer provided highly constructive feedback and valuable advice on areas where I could improve based on my performance. It is rare to find an interview process that is both thorough and genuinely developmental. I truly appreciated the interviewer's insight and warm approach.
