I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at IBM in Oct 2020
Interview
Terrible interview process. I applied to a UX designer position, a recruiter named Deja reached out to schedule a phone call. This phone call only lasted maybe 10 min when we scheduled 30 min. Asked me general questions and didn't seem interested in my background at all. Next, I received an email from her saying the team wanted to also consider me for another position. A design researcher position. I went ahead and interviewed for the researcher position first with someone who was NOT going to be on my team and had no knowledge of the position itself. Very unorganized. I received a rejection from the Design researcher position and was told that the position I INITIALLY applied for and DIDNT have the opportunity to interview for, was filled (chosen internally).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
tell me about a time you worked with someone difficult
Minimal communication and unclear expectations before the interview. The interview was a mix of behavioral, UX specific, and portfolio review questions. Not much time for the interviewee to ask questions themselves.
The first round was a video assessment I received a day after applying to the job. I got 1 minute to prepare my answer and 3 minutes to respond. In total, I answered 4 different behavioral questions.
Intro / Asssessment / HR / Team Interview that's how it all starts and wraps up to final rounds. it was pretty easy for the intital rounds. However, they dive deeper into the projects and ask more about the context and the design decisoins, they critque and see how you performed during those tasks
