Applied online through the IBM careers portal and received an interview invitation about two weeks later. The process had one technical interview on Microsoft Teams with two engineers. They asked C++ fundamentals, multithreading concepts, and some behavioral questions. The interview lasted around 45 minutes. Interviewers were friendly and focused on practical experience rather than pure theory. No coding on a shared editor, mostly verbal technical discussion. Received a rejection email about one week later.
