IBM was ahead of its time, when it instituted "entrance exams" for
prospective employees. Not trusting a transcript, that's what you do.
Make a separate filtering step. The few former IBM people I've run
into, will not tell you what goes on in that exam.

I'm an ex-IBMer who started at the Hursley lab as a so-called
"experienced grad" in 1982; there were several interviews but no
entrance exam.

I remember sitting a whole load of tests at IBM in 1973, before they
offered me a job. And then I turned them down. (to be fair, I also
turned down CAP, BT, and Imperial College)
