IBM sucks :) - Rejected after all the rounds
I was selected after 3 technical rounds for Application Developer role for SAP ABAP HANA at IBM, HR round done, they agreed for the ask, submitted the details for background verification and after all this they rejected me. I have an offer from EY but was really looking forward to join at IBM :(
One interview, 1000+ job opportunities
Take a 10-min AI interview to qualify for numerous real jobs auto-matched to your profile 🔑
Rule no 1: When there are more than 2 technical rounds going to be taken for a service based MNC, just RUN. Don't take it seriously or avoid that company.
My wife is an HR and she tells me that no service based MNC needs more than 2 rounds of interviews. Max 2 technical rounds.
If they are going for the 3rd round, it simply means they are not fully interested in you due to some reason and are buying time.
If they are really interested, they will sometimes give you an offer letter with just 1 technical round also that too within 10 days.
I have myself seen this happening with Accenture and KPMG.
They both took just 1 technical round and then HR round for me. I am 8.5 years experience. And handed me the offer letter within 8-9 days after 1st technical round. happened
IBM has nothing better than Accenture or KPMG. At max same level.
So why so many rounds?

Agree. I guess will have to keep applying, they shouldn’t waste candidates time man.
Anyways, thanks for your insights, appreciate it 🙂
