I applied online. I interviewed at IBM (Coimbatore)
Interview
I found this position via Handshake after a recruiter messaged me. First round consisted of a phone screening with a talent acquisition specialist, brief 15min phone call. Second round interview consisted of more behavioral questions, and then a mock case study. You're given an industry, and tasked with determining whether certain individual in that industry contribute towards competitors, suppliers, or supply chain members. Then, you're tasked with selecting an individual that best fits the needs of the given case for the client, and drafting an email to one of the interviewers detailing why that individual is the best fit. After that, you'll engage in a mock call with the client, explaining the benefits of consulting for Third Bridge and shutting down any potential negation. You'll receive feedback on your performance, and it's critical that you incorporate that feedback in later aspects of the interview.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How does your background align with the role you're applying for
This was a recorded interview. Mostly behavioral. Interface was simple but email assessment instructions did not describe that would be the environment. The assessment was on an online platform called Knockri.
The interview was very friendly. I was able to talk a lot about skills and experience while the interviewer was curious as well. It was both mutually interested and really good experience
