I applied online. I interviewed at IBM in Sep 2024
Interview
The interview process was okay. Some questions are difficult in which it will require you to think for a bit. I was surprise that the hirevue was only an audio recording and not a video.
A behavioral interview followed by a technical interview. Both pretty basic. Technical interview asked more about industry trends, not anything software specific. That may just have been for my specific role.
I only got to the coding assessment. I admit I'm a bit rusty on my hackerrank skills so it was difficult for me to complete it. It was only 2 questions but personally I didn't have enough time to accomplish them.

The coding assessment was the typical intermediate hackerrank problem solving questions.
It was the first stage, a video assessment consisting of a prerecorded behavioural and situational interview. Candidates were given one minute to plan their response and then two minutes to speak and record their answer. The format required concise thinking, clear articulation, and the ability to present oneself confidently on camera within a strict time limit.
