IBM Consultant interview with a one-attempt recorded assessment and live storytelling rounds

After I applied, the process began with an online recorded assessment. It felt fast and high stakes because I had only one attempt for each answer. The short timed set covered behavioral and consulting-style questions, including working with others, pressure, and close deadlines. In the recording format, I had a brief moment to think and then a couple of minutes to answer. My camera had to stay off. There were guidelines for structuring answers, and the challenge was staying organized rather than saying the perfect thing.

After I cleared that step, I moved to live interviews with a similar storytelling-and-structure feel. I had a behavioral conversation and then a more technical round, though for this role it was about industry trends and broader context rather than deep software details. Most questions were grounded in past experience: what I had done, how I approached problem solving, and how I described my impact. The hour went by quickly, and the interviewers were friendly and professional.

The hardest part was the timed recording window and having to be concise. I did not receive an offer. My main impression was that clear, detailed stories that fit the consulting-style prompts were my strongest signal.

Location: Bogotá, Bogota. Overall feedback: neutral. Offer status: no offer.
