I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Buenos Aires)
Interview
A 3rd party reached for the first interview. The second was with the technical team, where they asked me about my background, knowledge, experience, etc.
Then they reached me again for another interview with the same people where they basically asked me a few of those things again (literally same questions).
Then they reached for whatsapp and told me to schedule an interview. The person cancel the interview and reschedule for the following week. He didn't contacted me and, when I reached him, he told he was very busy, but we would be having it the following week, that they were really interested on me (he talked as if it was already done).
Next week, same thing. The following week I didn't got any news from him and decided to not even contact him as I received an offer from a please that didn't seem as desorganized as them.
A few weeks later the recruiter (third party) sent me a linkedin message telling me the position was paused for now (the guy from whatsapp, who was some kind of technical leader, didn't reach again)

Applied through the company portal, completed an online coding assessment, followed by a technical interview covering data structures, algorithms, OOP concepts, and project experience. Concluded with an HR discussion about the role, career goals, availability, and compensation expectations.
## IBM Interview Process
The process began with initial resume shortlisting, followed by competitive **DSA and coding rounds** to test core technical concepts. After clearing those, I cleared two comprehensive interviews with the **Hiring Manager/Tech Expert** and **HR**.
Describe the interview process: The process consisted of three rounds: an initial online assessment focusing on data structures and algorithms, followed by two technical video interviews. The technical rounds were intensive, covering system design, live coding, and deep-dive questions into previous project experience and database optimization.
