      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. I interviewed at IBM

      Interview

      First round of interviews consisted of completing a series of online "brain games" to test how you solve problems and think. After about two weeks I was contacted for a phone screening, which involved answering questions about where I lived and how much pay would be. Immediately following, I was contacted for in person interviews, 1 behavior interview and 1 technical interview. The behavioral interview asked questions about leadership skills, and problem solving skills. Technical interview asked questions about defining polymorphism, abstraction, and all other object oriented key terms. I was also ask about projects I worked on and what I used to build them and my favorite part about them. I was contacted for hiring in less than 24 hours after that interview.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What is polymorphism? What is abstraction? If your teammate needed help with their task, and you weren't done your task yet, would you help the teammate?
