I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Cochin)

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at IBM (Dublin, Dublin) in Jan 2024
Interview
The interview process took two months from the day I applied to the day I received the final decision on my application. It was quite a long time. The recruiter screening and interview were scheduled quickly, within about a week. During the interview, everyone was really nice and friendly. Afterward, I felt confident, but I had to wait for a month or even longer. Unfortunately, I eventually received a rather generic email: “Unfortunately, we moved forward with another candidate.”
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked about the application I was presenting in more detail, including benchmarks. Specifically, they wanted to know whether I had used their competitors as a benchmark or compared it with services from another field.
