Reg. The Interview

Recently IBM had call'd for some professional from different agencies. IBM had call'd for interview without shortlisting the CVs. After reaching IBM they have eleminated some people without any interview saying that " The agencies have to see the CVs before they shortlist. And they should match the requirement". Many times this had happened with IBM. I hope their is some scam going with the HR team and the agencies.

hi,

i agree to the point that there is definitely wrong in IBM interview process. Iam not sure about shortlisting...but..i have jst returned from interview and i found the interviewer so reckless..he neglected when I offered a handshake...he asked me to close the conference room door...well i thought i am helping him and i closed and before i returned to sit with him...he started asking me some dumb questions...even before i completed the answer...he went on to next question...he seems to be frustrated and restless...he doesn't have patience to evaluate an interviewee...he doesn't know how to evaluate my expertise...wasted my time and his too...

HR department should know whom they can appoint as an interviewer...because of such people many experts miss a chance to get into a good organisation.

Thats really bad. At least people should have ettiquettes to deal with an interviewee properly.
I had gone for the interview on 25 April 2009 at Pune and was told that they will give me a call after the technical round. Thats one way of saying NO. But by any chance is there anyone who has been issued an offer letter on 25 April? I am not sure if they conducted the 2nd round the same day itself coz there was total lack of transparency and the huge number of candidates.
Just drop a comment if anyone has attended the interview on 25 April 2009 and has been called for the 2nd round or been offered a job.

On 6th MArch, 2010 I have also got verbal communication for my PDM interviewer that I will receive an offer letter. Till today (19/04/2010)no responce from IBM side. Consultancy says the status is PDM Hold.
 
Hi guys,

I too agree all above comments. I cleared my technical and PDM rounds but no response from IBM. They are trying to give work to their HR dept(no work) but it frustrates candidates those who are appearing for job interviews.

Any one attended on May 15th 2010 IBM PDM Round and waiting for an offer or any one got an offer replay back guys??

Also update whoever got an offers from IBM...
 
I am really scared of reading all the comments above as I cleared Two technical rounds in SAP HR in IBM at Diamond District on May 29..they told they would call me for PDM round in 2 days but after waiting for almost 2 weeks and continues follow up with the HR, I got a call from IBM HR today ( June 11, 2010) saying that they ll schedule the PDM round ..I really don't know if they ll schedule the PDM and I ll get an offer in IBM...

Wish me Good luck guys and I wish good luck for all those who are waiting for the offer letter and offer confirmation.!!!
 
Hi All,

Anyone have attend Technical & PDM round in IBM on 8th May 2010 and get offer letter. I have attend and cleared both rounds and HR told me directly that you have selected and my agency told the same thing that you have cleared. But Still waiting for offer letter. Any way to get status of offer letter or can you tell me that how much IBM take to issue offer letter. Please reply me as soon as possible that what should I do.
 
Well that was a good try, don't ever leave ur job until u get a hard copy of the offer letter from IBM..cant trust these MNC's these days...and if u r interested in job change then send me ur profile to expjobs45@gmail.com..i ll refer u in accenture...and u can negotiate with Accenture keeping ur IBM offer in hand...

And i am also waiting for my offer letter from IBM...I completed my PDM yesterday.(16-JUNE-2010).
 
Hi All,

my PDM round is tomorrow, can someone tell me. What PDM round mean???
Is PDM round is for salary nego.. ?
 
Hi Maheshverm,

PDM (Project Development & Management ), it is nothing but the HR round, the general questions would be :Tell me about ur education background", " Why IBM", "What's ur salary expectations and stuff like that...but u dont get to negotiate much as they would not offer any great package..
 
I attended interview at consultants office for oracle/pl sql . After the intereview they told me that i have cleard the tech round and will be called for PDM round. 1 week is already over and not heared from IBM yet. I really doubt whether there is some genuine requirements or they are just passing time by conducting such interviews.
 
I too completed my technical round on May 8 and PDM on June12.PDM told me that i would receive an offer within a week and HR told within 2 weeks.But no Info after that.Can I expect offer letter from them?I am very anxious abt this, or should I try for another one?Anyone who got offer letter in this period please reply...
 
I too completed my technical round on may 25, 2010 and called for PDM round on 29 may 2010 and they took all my scanned documents and they made me to sit for 2 hrs and then they called me in for PDM round and the manager one who is taking the round saw all my scanned documents and said that some TECH BBI or TECH BBS form was missing and i cant continue the interview without that form ...And i asked him what is that form and he said that... The one who has taken the Technical round for you should send that form to the one who is taking me the PDM round ...so i said hw would i knw that sir its ur ppl responsible i said...so wht he did is He called to the HR in front of me and asked him regarding this ... He said that he wil be sending that form through mail at that time he send ok and HR sent that form and in the mean time he asked me some questions regarding my personal profile and after that he recived TECH BBI form from HR so wht did this manager said is it was missing some sequence ...SO I CANT CONTINUE THE INTERVIEW WITH U HE SAID and he also told we wil be calling u after 2 or 3 days for the same round but it is almost 2 months i did get a cal from IBM ...This is very bad ...fucking IBM
 
Hey guys all of u who are waiting for the offer from IBM can chill out, they had some tool problem so ter was a delay in releasing the offer letters .I too was waiting for the offer letter and completed the PDM in June 2nd week and finally gt the offer letter on Jun 30 and my joining in IBM is July 30.

I wish good luck for all those who are trying for IBM and for all those who are waititng for the offer letters.

One suggestion to all of u is Follow up with the HR regarding the interview and offer letter once in a week, it worked for me.
