I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Washington, DC) in Sept 2016
Interview
There is only one round for the CbD program if you apply through your university. There are 3 30 minute interviews in a row - 2 behavioral and 1 case.
The case is more about what types of considerations you must take into account, rather than driving towards a solid answer. There is some math involved, but only basic multiplications.
The behavioral interviews were very conversational - nothing out of the ordinary. Each interviewer has a list of questions they must ask you, but often they will follow up based on your answer.
I got a call exactly a week after with the offer.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at IBM (São Paulo, São Paulo) in Oct 2025
Interview
A entrevista foi dividida em duas etapas e foi tranquila. Porém, na primeira entrevista, a vaga tinha um escopo. Na segunda etapa, a vaga ganhava um escopo totalmente diferente. Com a quebra de expectativa, não senti segurança em continuar o processo seletivo e declinei a continuação.

Question 1
Foram perguntas técnicas sobre a minha atuação profissional e foram fáceis de responder. Propuseram um teste, mas optei por não realizá-lo, pois desisti de continuar o processo seletivo.
first round: english written test （gre level）
second round: meet with manager of the project, asked about cv and some behavioral question.
third round: meet with manager and partner, self-introduction, talk about a related project i have done before, some behavirol question, doing a presentation
difficult they asked very technical questions and some behavioral. Some if them had nothing to do with the role so it caught me off guard a bit and it was tedious
