The first step was a game that measures some skills like how fast I respond or how strategically I am able to think. It felt a little bit weird to do this test. Besides, it was not a day I felt entirely focused. At the end of the game, they sent me another email approving I passed the test or complicated. I am not sure how they measure my abilities, because to be honest, I find these kinds of tests unnecessary. They cannot define the actual talents that I need for this specific position. I was disappointed. And I had to wait more than a month to receive a rejection email. I am very disappointed by this process. But of course, I wish to be a part of the IBM design team.

1. Why do you want to move to San Diego for this role? 2. What are your salary expectations? 3. You didn't actually work with developers at the non-profit you highlighted in your resume, right? Developers don't normally work at non-profits, so you didn't actually work with any, right? (yes, this was legitimately a question I was asked) 4. Why did you graduate in December instead of May/June like when students usually graduate? - not a single question about my design capabilities....
