I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Armonk, NY) in Aug 2016
Interview
Extensive, initial call with manager, in-person interview with manager, senior manager, then senior VP. Sprinkled phone interviews with everyone else on the team (4-6 people). Senior manager asked for a 2 page write up on a specific IBM product and for some ideas on how it could be incorporated to specific project work. Once they want to start making an offer, you work with an external recruiter which was a strange experience, but that's when you have to negotiate hard for what you want.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The request to give a write up on some IBM product offering. Not much information in the request with little guidance
Long process. really only asked about abilities to gain new business and did I have close contacts to get insight into competition. Not a lot about the actual PM job and what that meant as far as execution
The interview process, while quick and efficient, did not reflect the position after I was hired. I was asked what I imagine the job being, and after spending 3 months in the job, I realized that they let me believe the job while they didn’t have a good definition for the role. Even though the job was in emerging tech, be honest to who you’re thinking about hiring with what they’d spend their day to day doing. Lying about expectations or not being clear can really hurt someone.

I applied online. I interviewed at IBM (New York, NY) in Jan 2022
Interview
Online video interview followed by a interview with hiring manager after bring contacted by recruiter. Short turnaround time for response.
I found the hiring manager to be hard to connect with; interview questions were a bit odd and felt very disorganized. I think I just did not vibe with the person, seemed a little stiff don't know if it was the right culture fit for mw. The interview itself was not hard very basic question but felt very unstructured
