      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at IBM (San Jose, CA)

      Interview

      Had an OA, was scheduled to interview a few weeks after. Scheduled the interview the first time. Link was broken. Scheduled again, gave me 3 different times and the interviewer was just as confused. Was told I'd hear back in a few days. Been 3 months and still "in interview process" and the company has no response to me.
