I applied through university. I interviewed at IBM (Chennai) in Nov 2024
Interview
For us, IBM came to our college and conducted the interview rounds. There was only one interview, and it was an HR one. HR went through my resume and asked questions related to what I had mentioned. There was nothing technical .
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Since I have mentioned in my resume that I had interned in a Data Center , they asked me If I knew where Amazon's data center is.
The interview process at IBM
was smooth and straightforward. The technical discussion mainly focused on SQL join queries between two tables, along with a general conversation about AI and Generative AI concepts. The interviewers were friendly, and the overall difficulty level of the round was easy to moderate.
I applied online without referrals
First OA with 2 coding questions, medium to hard level, 1 hour time limit
Then 5 online recorded behavior questions, only 1 try, no retries
Next round is meeting the hiring manager and a senior engineer in the team
The online test interview process was well structured and user friendly. Instructions were clear, questions relevant, and platform stable. Timed sections assessed skills effectively, providing fair evaluation and experience overall.
