I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (London, England) in Jan 2020
Interview
Two sessions. First was put on team of aroung 15 people to solve a puzzle, each person has couple of cards.
Two of IBM watched us as we try to solve,
Second session was logic/reasoning questions.
At the end, they only selected two peopel, seems like the selected the two most spoken people in the first session.
Applied through the company portal, completed an online coding assessment, followed by a technical interview covering data structures, algorithms, OOP concepts, and project experience. Concluded with an HR discussion about the role, career goals, availability, and compensation expectations.
## IBM Interview Process
The process began with initial resume shortlisting, followed by competitive **DSA and coding rounds** to test core technical concepts. After clearing those, I cleared two comprehensive interviews with the **Hiring Manager/Tech Expert** and **HR**.
Describe the interview process: The process consisted of three rounds: an initial online assessment focusing on data structures and algorithms, followed by two technical video interviews. The technical rounds were intensive, covering system design, live coding, and deep-dive questions into previous project experience and database optimization.
