I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Ahmedabad) in Jul 2022
Interview
The interview process has 3 rounds
2 Technical
1 PDM
The 2 technical round includes Security related questions followed by basics of computer like OOPS concepts, Data structure , Database and then followed by a coding round.
Who asks to code a Security Engineer? The coding knowledge is required for mitigations but that should be considered as a secondary thing.
After you clear the Technical round there is a so called PDM round in which a lady who does have much knowledge on Security will judge you. And will also say that I don’t think you match our expectations
After 2 successful technical rounds you will be hearing that you are not matching our expectations
If the candidate is not matching you expectations than I don’t feel he/she would be able to clear the 2 technical rounds
