I applied online. I interviewed at IBM (New York, NY) in Jul 2025

I applied online. I interviewed at IBM in Nov 2025
Interview
Weird interview process, joined call and the interviewer sat there not responding to what I said then asked question, whilst he gave funny looks to answers I was giving, despite having another interview prior with similar questions that got me the job at that company.
He then pretended what I was saying was wrong when I challenged a false statement he made that was for another role entirely, he ended the interview and smiled all of a sudden after acting strange saying bye.
