Envié una solicitud electrónica. Acudí a una entrevista en IBM (Dublín, Dublín) en mar 2014
Entrevista
Quite relaxed. Initially had a phone interview with HR, then a technical phone interview with someone on the team I was applying for accompanied with a chat with the manager. Eventually I was invited for an in-person interview and I came from across the country to attend and they were very understanding about my time. Sadly there were many applicants so not everyone got a full and thorough screening.
HR was nice, the technical test was written and I really enjoyed the interview process overall. Best I've ever had I'd say. Heard it was harder for others with a less-technical background. They were grilled more thoroughly than I was.

## 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.
