I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Rochester, NY) in Jul 2013
Interview
After a few exchange of emails about my profile and work interest, I received a phone call from the Project Manager. I was asked about my previous work experience and current academic status and interests. A skype interview was scheduled later a week later. It was a 45 min skype interview. Few simple concepts of object oriented programming were asked. Then I was asked to code a solution to the question : "Given a sentence and a set of words, how do you find out if the given sentence can be formed using the given set of words?". I was asked to email the complete code that I verbally solved over the skype call.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Interview was fairly simple, and I was interviewed on my coding skills. Hence there was nothing difficult or unexpected.
First OA, then interview with manager which comprised of a bunch of technical questions to answer. Mostly questions on various languages, and technical concepts. Python, SQL, git, etc. asd asda sd
45 minute interview with 30mins behavioral and 15mins technical. Behavioral was your regular situation-based and tell me about a time questions, not too bad. No coding in the technical. The conceptual technical questions they ask are based on your resume and what you tell them about your experience. I had a couple of questions related to REST API implementation, and data structures.
I first got an OA on Hackerrank and I found it easy. Next I got a behavioral/HR screen interview. Did not hear from after HR screen. We went through my resume during the call.
