Envié una solicitud electrónica. El proceso duró 4 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en IBM (Markham, ON) en ene 2018
Entrevista
I applied for the general Software Developer Intern position online through their portal. A few weeks later I received the email for the iPAT test which tests your pattern recognition, logic and mathematical skills. It is very difficult, and I suggest you search for practice material as I did.
A week later I was contacted by two different managers for two different positions, both part of the Commerce Development team. One was scheduled onsite and the other over the phone. They were very different interview experiences.
The phone interviewer asked about polymorphism, Linux commands, past experiences, whether I was familiar with Gradle or Emacs or automation testing. Lasted about 45 mins.
The onsite was much more relaxed and almost entirely about my projects and experience for an hour. Felt very comfortable with the manager.
I received offers from both managers, one a month later and one a week.
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.
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.
