      Consultant Interview

      16 Jan 2011
      Anonymous employee
      Gaithersburg, MD
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Gaithersburg, MD) in Feb 2009

      Interview

      Following the submission of my application -- a resume and a cover letter -- I was first interviewed on telephone by a recruiter who reviewed my personal details and sought more specific information on my salary and benefits. I was then called for interview to an office, and met four interviewers in succession. The first was by a recruiter who went over my employment history. The other three interviewers sought professional data: first, by asking more details about the accomplishments listed in my resume, second, by checking my experience in specific areas of professional work (what exactly did I do, to solve what problems, with what result, and what was eventually accomplished) and, third, by seeking my answer to specific hypothetical and problematic situations in an organization. The recruiter then called me after a few days to say that the company intended to engage me and negotiate an agreed salary. There was no flexibility on the benefits, which were offered as a package, but after some discussion of the reasons for and against the salary I had preferred, the recruiter offered me a slightly lower salary. The quality of the interviews was: amiable and not intimidating, polite and not intrusive, gracious and not demanding. The interviewers did not seem particularly skilled; some of the questions were superficial, and many were repetitive and apparently unplanned. The last interview was with a partner who was particularly candid, pleasant and informative. The interviews, all in all, left a good impression but were not professionally impressive.
