Group Discussion Round

Technical Rounds:
The initial two technical rounds were conducted professionally, and the interviewers seemed genuinely interested in my background, experience, and skills related to UI/UX design. The questions were relevant and challenging, but I felt adequately prepared for them. I appreciated the opportunity to discuss my design portfolio and provide detailed answers to their inquiries. These rounds created a positive impression of IBM's commitment to hiring skilled professionals in the UI/UX field.

3

Case Study Round

In conclusion, while the initial technical rounds of the interview process at IBM were professional and promising, the manager round with Anil G left me with concerns about the fairness and effectiveness of the evaluation process. Addressing potential biases in the interview process is crucial to ensuring a better candidate experience and a more accurate assessment of future UI/UX Designer candidates.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Manager Round with Anil G:
However, the third manager round with Anil G was a stark contrast to the previous rounds. From the beginning, I sensed a certain level of disinterest and detachment from the interview process on his part. Despite my best efforts to engage and articulate my experience, Anil G did not seem keen on delving deeper into my qualifications or discussing my design work in detail.

Additional Concerns:
During the third round with Manager Anil G, I couldn't help but notice a potential bias in his evaluation process. It appeared that Anil G had a specific agenda in mind when conducting interviews, which might involve recruiting individuals with whom he had prior connections or affiliations. This perception was reinforced by the observation that many individuals in his team appeared to come from the same company or were linked to his mentorship program.

Lack of Objectivity:
This observation raised concerns about the objectivity of the interview process, as it's essential that all candidates are evaluated fairly and impartially based on their qualifications and potential contributions to the organization. It's crucial to ensure that the interview process remains merit-based and free from any undue influence.
