I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at IBM (Calgary, AB) in Aug 2020
Interview
Lots of questions. Mainly questions coming from second-year computer science programs such as what are the principles of object-orientated language. What is a singleton? How do you write one and why you would use one. Some questions pertain to whether I read news media outlets to keep up to date on the latest technology. Some database questions such as how would I write a table based on these situation and how to write a query to obtain the inforamtion.

Question 1
What is a singleton? How do you write one? Why would you use one? What are the principles of object-orientated programming? What is abstraction?
The interviewer asked typical dsa questions followed by system design. He was kind and explained the entire process. It was for one hour and the questions were medium level. System design was focused on the fundamentals
Mostly behavioral style questions across all rounds, with some technical deep dive into resume. Group style round with hiring managers and team all at once in the final round. Wasn't super difficult.
Fair. Not so difficult, everyday questions. The people were friendly. I think it would be a good place to work. I can't compare it with other interviews since this is the first one I got
