Does IBM reject because of accommodation requirements

Hi, I would like to ask if IBM rejects considering a candidate if they say yes in accommodation form asked to fill before taking assessment test.

Likely not if it’s a legitimate need. IBM is pretty good about that stuff.

Likely not. Questions are just for formality. It all depends on your performance.

Why would you come to IBM now ? !

Lol. No definitely not. Ibm might have some issues, but not appreciating diversity is not among them.

No they usually bump you if you say no travel.

In my office we have 4 people that need pretty significant accommodations. That has never been a reason I have seen.

IBM does not. It's a legitimate question often asked in large compliant organizations.

Legally they can't. IBM is also big on diversity and different perspectives, etc. Accommodations don't count against people in the location where I work (I interview people and am involved in the hiring process in my location). I can't say it doesn't happen anywhere but it's such a big company that different sections can be run in completely different manners. I'm sure someone somewhere breaks those rules but I haven't seen it and would call attention to it if I did.
