      Apr 6, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Bengaluru
      No offer
      Negative experience

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at IBM (Bengaluru) in Apr 2018

      Interview

      Nonsense Worst . she just did time pass without having my resume.she asked encyclopedia unrelated to my resume. also, they called me for an interview but the panel was not there so had a telephonic in IBM office itself. Who is your scrum master such stupid question were asked.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Went for an intervew on 6th april 18.I had a very dissatisfying interview experience, which has changed my expectations about an organization like IBM. I am not expressing my concerns as a "Not selected" candidate, rather as a person who like to take the positives from all my interviews and move forward. The interviewer focused on asking unrelated questions as per my work experience and my interests. Later on, it was evident that she did not have my resume, which might have been a completely alternate prospect. Conclusively I honestly feel that I had wasted 1 hour of my time off work, as I have nothing positive to take on from today. The Best Joke Was: I told her I have worked in WPF, WCF, WEB API, SSRS, SQL and then she asks again it means you have not worked in C# and asp.net. 1.atlease Interviewer should have technical knowledge .he should be able to unsterstand the basic eg. (if someone is working in wpf it means that person is working in .Net C#,so there should not be stupid question from the intervewer side like then you have not worked in C#.Net ) 2.do tell the person who takes the interview please have the resume with you and don't just google and ask which she herself doesn't know.

      Software Engineer Interview

      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. I interviewed at IBM

      Interview

      The interview process began with an online assessment conducted on campus. The assessment consisted of multiple-choice questions and coding questions. Based on the assessment performance, around 30 students from our college were shortlisted for the interview round. My technical interview was scheduled from **2:30 PM to 3:30 PM**. The interview went well, and the interviewer gave me positive feedback. After the interviews, the recruiters started announcing the names of selected candidates for the HR round. Initially, my name was not called, and they asked me to wait while the shortlisted candidates proceeded to the HR round. At that point, I thought I had been rejected. However, around **4:30 PM**, the recruiters returned and announced another list of **19 candidates**, and my name was included. I was very happy and relieved. They asked all 19 of us to wait in another room. About 10 minutes later, they announced that **15 out of those 19 candidates** had been selected to proceed further, and fortunately, I was one of them. After another 10 minutes, they announced the final list of **9 selected candidates**. Unfortunately, my name was not included in the final list, so I was not selected. Although I was disappointed, the experience taught me the importance of staying patient and confident throughout the recruitment process.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The technical interview mainly focused on problem-solving, SQL, Java fundamentals, and object-oriented programming concepts. The interviewer first asked me to **sort an array containing only 0s, 1s, and 2s without using any sorting algorithm**. Initially, I solved it by counting the occurrences of 0s, 1s, and 2s using **if-else statements** and reconstructing the array. The interviewer accepted the logic but challenged me to solve it **without using if-else statements**. I then used a **HashMap-based approach**, and the interviewer was satisfied with my solution. The interviewer also asked an SQL question to **find the second highest salary** from an employee table. In addition, there were several Java and database-related questions, including: * Difference between **JDK, JRE, and JVM** * Core **OOP concepts** such as Encapsulation, Inheritance, Polymorphism, and Abstraction * Basic Java programming concepts * Basic **MySQL** concepts and queries Overall, the interview was focused on assessing my problem-solving ability, Java fundamentals, SQL knowledge, and understanding of object-oriented programming.
