IBM PMA interview questions

The entire process felt rushed and it was easy to see how an employee can quickly become just a number. I was assured that training would adequately provide me with a solid foundation to thrive in the position, which I had expressed concern about during the interview. After being pulled out of orientation on my first day to begin working on a project I knew nothing about, I then discovered I had yet to be given any work equipment or permissions necessary to access programs in order to complete the tasks already requested of me by the client. I left the company soon after the training period was over, during which I was given multiple projects before the above issues were ever completely resolved. The ability to access work equipment and necessary programs should have already been in place prior to being assigned a project. A full orientation along with a streamlined training regimen should have taken place along with this, but there was no chance to make up missed training due to client deliverables taking precedence. Reference material was only available through work equipment I did not have complete access to. As it was, I went an entire week before I could utilize any of these - all while being given more tasks by clients on a daily basis. I was shocked at the lack of implementation of any sort of streamlined training procedures for the position, which had been created three months prior. Even other co-workers that had been there since the beginning seemed to find it hard to define what the job specifically entailed in order to help prepare new hires. During the interview it was stressed by the hiring manager that other employees would help any new hires in any way they could, and to ask them as many questions as possible because they were the best resource. I soon discovered that when asking the same question to three different employees, you often received three different answers - it became difficult to clarify the simplest of questions, even among supervisors. Those in leadership positions seemed to be stretched incredibly thin and it often felt difficult to reach them when you really needed their expertise. I can't count the number of times I was told that it is the 'IBM way' to teach yourself how to do your own job as you go - a streamlined training process would have helped a great deal to at least guide new hires along the way. In the end, the whole experience felt so incredibly unprofessional for such a seemingly professional worldwide corporation.
