I applied online. I interviewed at IBM in Nov 2021
Interview
A couple days after submitting an application through the IBM Careers portal, I was invited to a timed Data Science HackerRank test. The test was 3hrs long and only after opening the test link did I realize they request you to complete the test within 2 days of receiving the invite. The test consisted of 1 open-ended data science question with a Jupyter Notebook interface on HackerRank.

I applied and received a coding assessment with two questions(one SQL and one Python). Although I passed all the test cases, I was still rejected. I don't know why the application was rejected after some days of taking the assessment.
