Solicité el puesto a través de un captador. Acudí a una entrevista en IBM (New York, NY) en abr 2014
Entrevista
I was contacted by a hiring manager by email. We scheduled a phone call where we talked about IBM and briefly talked about the job position. The call seemed to be more about culture fit. We scheduled a second call and talked more about the position. The call was followed by an online test about timed math questions.

No coding questions. It was an introductory call followed up by a call about the position.
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.
