Why IBM? And how are you best suited candidate for this job role
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at IBM (Bengaluru) in Jan 2026
Interview
There were two technical interviews. The first was on the language basics, and the second round was conducted by the technical manager. This was followed by a local manager round. I cleared all rounds, and even the salary was finalized. But after that, there was no response from the recruiter.
