Interview at IBM Tommorrow(26-Apr-2015)
-
Have you verified its actually IBM before given them any info. Sounds a bit fishy to me.
-
@thecreativeone91 Yes I have verified.
-
Good luck. I've worked at IBM before. They have their problems but it is a very nice company to work for. Even with all of their problems, definitely a company I would be willing to work for again. Nice people and they treat their staff well.
-
Good luck. The English Assessment Test could definitely be problematic...
-
Good luck.
-
Good luck and please share the result, hope you get that
-
Good luck. Wish I could get a sweet gig like that.

IBM Poughkeepsie / Fishkill is a good place to be, I hear. Love the region, very near my downstate house.

Pretty sure They'd just laugh at my resume for anything but, a janitor.
-
Best of luck to you.

That's not a good sign when IBM doesn't have the resources necessary to conduct interviews reliably.
-
Is this direct IBM or someone else? I can't believe that they couldn't get you the required stuffs for interview!

Exactly, this is extremely fishy. What makes you confident that this was really IBM? This is not the kind of thing that IBM would want to happen in an interview as it makes them look extremely bad. And it is not the kind of problem that IBM would be likely to have. Something seems very, very wrong here.
-
@Lakshmana where did you attend the interview in Bangalore?

Yeah, no foreign companies run anything in India. They may have the name somewhere on there, but it's actually a local company with the usual kickbacks, grift, and corruption that I've come to know from the subcontinent. The big red V has VDSI, a division that had no accountability with regards to the rest of big red V, which made chastising their shittastic work very hard because they didn't report to anyone, even the CEO. AT&T completely outsourced (and pulled it back from them because they sucked so bad) and others just partner with Tata and all the others.
When it comes to employment in India, nothing is what it seems.

I know that IBM and Citigroup actually hire there, real staff in real facilities. True employees working directly for the parent company. But most firms, especially lower end ones that don't do direct business there that are just looking for cheap labour, don't really hire there. This does not sound like real IBM at all.

But much like Canada broadcasters, there has to be a majority local ownership. So 51% of the company is owned by some goons. I know IBM has been looking hard at not going to India, preferring to deal with Brazil, Indonesia, and the Philippines. And dealing with the lackadaisical work ethic of Brazilians versus India, that's some real reasons to wonder about the subcontinent.
Given the shady shit going on with this, I wouldn't be surprised it was India Box Machines.

I've had fake company stuff happen in the US too. It's not limited to India or the region. I've had fake businesses pretend to even be Bank of America and rent space inside a BoA building to create a pretty solid illusion!
