>>Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and hundreds of other companies hire thousands of candidates every year. Interviews in those companies are far more brutal, go upto typically 8 - 9 rounds, with an additional bar raiser round. And its a straight reject even if a single person from the panel gives a bad feedback, regardless how amazingly you have aced all the other rounds. By any measure that IBM interview is a walk in the park.
