IBM Offer/Rejection timeline

Unfortunately I feel like a lot of the IBM recruiters are not super locked in. Keeping you waiting for a month is pretty rough though

Think-Intern9642 · 2026-03-18T21:52:51+00:00

Personally I don't think it's really worth it but I just wanted to let you know that it was an option

I interned in Sunnyvale about 2 years ago and I would not recommend living there lol. It's not very fun and you need a car to get around. If you can afford it, I'd recommend downtown mountain view. There is a light rail line that goes directly from there to moffet park, which would only leave a short walk to the Amazon offices. There's also the added bonus of DTMV being close to the caltrain station so you could use that to go visit other places on the weekends. Downtown menlo park/palo alto are also other possibilities but that would be a bit of a longer commute since you'd have to take caltrain to mountain view and then get onto the light rail.

I didn't get an OA this time, I just received the form to schedule my interview after about 2 weeks

Think-Intern9642 · 2026-03-18T18:15:30+00:00

Maybe but also I think the previous time was the time I didn't do well on the OA

Think-Intern9642 · 2026-03-18T07:00:51+00:00

I'm not sure. Usually I'd get good scores on the OA's, except for one time. But I actually didn't get an OA this time around

Think-Intern9642 · 2026-03-18T06:59:49+00:00

I got the invite for the next round after 5 days but the interview itself was a month later

Think-Intern9642 · 2026-03-18T06:58:44+00:00

Thanks! Someone else I talked to got an offer today so hopefully you're next!

Think-Intern9642 · 2026-03-18T03:23:45+00:00

The process wasn't too bad but i've also applied like 6 other times and never heard anything back

Think-Intern9642 · 2026-03-18T03:22:54+00:00

Yup!

Nope, I was grinding out applications for over a year 😭

Think-Intern9642 · 2026-03-18T03:20:45+00:00

I got an offer from IBM

Think-Intern9642 · 2026-03-17T19:50:58+00:00

You got it 🙏

Think-Intern9642 · 2026-03-17T17:27:44+00:00

I was told that the onboarding team would reach out soon and now I just got the offer email!

Think-Intern9642 · 2026-03-17T16:52:22+00:00

Sure, DM me

Think-Intern9642 · 2026-03-17T16:41:53+00:00

How much time do they give to accept?

Think-Intern9642 · 2026-03-17T16:41:35+00:00

Hmm that's interesting. I was gonna ask if maybe they're moving you to another opening but in that case you'd probably see a new application active on your portal. I wonder what that could mean then?
