The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (New Delhi)
Interview
There was technical round happened.
After clearing technical round, I went on to salary discussion.
Hr named MADHUCHHANDA GHOSH, assured that I will receive the offer letter in 2 weeks, after 2 weeks I called and she didn't pick up the call. There is no other way to check the status. She finally responded after 1 month, she was talking unprofessionally. After 1 month and 3 weeks I got an status update from IBM that they reject my candidature "Without giving any reason". The company is going from Good to WORST. DO NOT TRUST THE HRs.
