Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso IBM nel mese di ott 2015
Colloquio
There was a simple online application form with several short-answer questions covering motivations, competencies, and some commercial awareness. The online tests were easy enough.
There was no phone interview component- applicants were sent straight to a two-part assessment center:
Part #1 had 2 group exercises.
Part #2 had interviews.
Out of 25 applicants in my session, only 5 (not including me) made it to the second part, so I apologise for only being able to discuss the group activities.
We were set into groups of 5. One exercise involved a mathematical puzzle, and the second involved discussing and presenting ideas for an app. They were assessing how we worked in a team throughout, rather than the actual outcome (obviously).
I would have rated "positive review" if we weren't kept for over twice as long as advertised- close to 6 hours long due to huge amounts of waiting around. Additionally, they had an incredibly brutal policy of only giving lunch to the 5 successful applicants.

Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto una settimana. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso IBM (San Paolo del Brasile, ) nel mese di ott 2025
Colloquio
A entrevista foi dividida em duas etapas e foi tranquila. Porém, na primeira entrevista, a vaga tinha um escopo. Na segunda etapa, a vaga ganhava um escopo totalmente diferente. Com a quebra de expectativa, não senti segurança em continuar o processo seletivo e declinei a continuação.

Foram perguntas técnicas sobre a minha atuação profissional e foram fáceis de responder. Propuseram um teste, mas optei por não realizá-lo, pois desisti de continuar o processo seletivo.
