Solicité el puesto a través de la recomendación de un empleado. El proceso duró 3 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en IBM en sept 2015
Entrevista
I inquired through email after my college passed on a message that a specific team was hiring shortly after I graduated. Applied officially online. Had a short phone interview and then 2 more 30 min phone interviews within a week. Mostly they just told me about what they did. Only really asked me to tell them about myself. I asked questions and tried to be 'insightful'. They implied I was hired but I had to take an iq type test. It took awhile to get through that and the background check (although they never actually said it was a background check... Just asked details about my prior work & education). That part is all outsourced to India and was very slow and took about a week.
The iq test says you don't to prepare but I was frustrated to find I could barely remember the quadratic equation and other algebra topics you haven't used in years that were needed for the timed test. I think i did horrible, but they don't tell you how you did. Got an official offer letter from the Indian recruiting dept including bonus & relocation about a week later.
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.
