Was told during the interview that IBMs efforts/focus to have a diverse workforce was only about money, and that they wouldn't be doing it unless it was profitable.
Felt dehumanizing and made me feel like a 'token' person being interviewed at IBM meant to pump their numbers. I did not want to go further into the interviews after that.
I don't want to support a company that doesn't care about or understand the plight of minorities. I was very dissappointed by the interview and it left me with a poor view of IBM.
It was great. I liked the interviewer's hospitality and the process was arranged quite professionally. Everyone involved was really kind and helpful. I would totally recommend to anyone who is looking for a comfortable and pleasant interviewing experience.
As a screening activity, first I had to sit and pass a test remotely, before advancing to an assessment centre. This test was a number of logic and reasoning questions, with some maths mixed in.
This was followed by a morning of mixed technical and group exercises, another logic test, as well as a one to one interview.
