online coding + guru interview + finish line I received my congrats email on Oct 16th and was informed that I have passed the online test and would be contacted to schedule Guru and Guide for that position. However, my recruiter forgot to ask me to provide my available time in it. This made me think, okay, I might have to wait until she reaches out for my time schedule. Until Oct 24th, the same recruiter resent the email which I received on Oct 16th and requested my time schedule. Apparently, she expected me to provide that on Oct 16th, however, she never mentioned it in the previous email. I responded quickly, told her that I am flexible and gave my available times. After that, I did not hear back from her again. When it comes to Oct 31st and Nov 1st, I realized that it might be too late for my interview and contacted my recruiter. She told me I had to interview 24 hrs later or chose to wait for possible time windows two weeks later, which I already responded her one week earlier to schedule it. It seems that even though I wrote her to schedule my interview immediately after receiving the requesting email, I did not get my arrangement. Well, I accepted an interview 24 hrs later. However, it was cancelled 2 hours before the interview. Although it is annoying, I could understand the cancellation. However, as I explained before, the recruiter delayed my interview arrangement twice, otherwise, I would have already scheduled it and never got cancelled. If every recruiter could manipulate and intervene candidates' interview process in this delaying way, I could not imagine what the future of IBM hiring would look like. When I contacted them, IBMers acted like IBM is the best company in the world, they have every reason to do all of these, they could force me to take an interview within 24 hours without asking my schedule, and they could cancel it 2 hours before the interview, they could forget to ask a candidate's timeline even if they need to move forward. Wake up, dude! This is not 2000 anymore, there are tons of better tech companies than IBM in this world. Goodbye, IBM
