      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at IBM in Jun 2008

      Interview

      This was an interview for a new project within IBM. The search was for jobs listed at the internal IBM website. I applied for a posted contract position using the website process. I followed up by email with information for the hiring business area manager. Several emails were exchanged. I provided examples of my work by attachments. I did some research to recommend approaches and technolgies to provide the solution per the job description in the post.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The question - a request really - was to submit examples of my work.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Markham, ON) in Mar 2023

      Interview

      Fairly straight forward panel process where they ask about experience, typical interview questions like tell us a time you were faced with a difficult situation, etc. Asked about tools I had previously used, my education, and items in my portfolio. Final round was a test to improve poorly written documentation and more personal questions to see if I would be a fit for the team culturally.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What documentation tools are you comfortable using, what have you used in the past?

      Efficient and direct interview process. Recruiter was very helpful and encouraging. Hiring manager was laid back yet professional, and wanted to know a lot about me, my background, and my potential at the company.
