I had an interview at IBM today, which was a panel Interview with the hiring manager and a Senior developer. Overall, I believe it went well, although there were a few questions where they seemed to expect different answers. Does anyone know how long it typically takes to hear back from them?

ex-IBMer here. IBM is very slow to respond, I had to wait a week or two to get some response for each e-mail, it may take long now as holidays are coming up.

BTW, I was RA'd (IBM term for layoff) recently from a similar team that just interviewed you. I wish you all the best if you end up in the same team, they are nice people.

On average, I’d say a week or two for anyone to get back to you. However, people may be off for longer due to the upcoming holidays. I wouldn’t worry too much about not giving the answer that was expected, I feel like I do that sometimes to so just make sure I am justifying it with solid reasoning.

Yea I have also heard they are really slow to respond but it doesn't hurt to follow up with them after a week and then again at two weeks if you haven't heard from them.
