I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at IBM (New Delhi) in Apr 2022
Interview
Very easy interview process. I was asked to give introduction and basic computer science related questions. The interview process was of 20-30 mins. It was basically the discussion kind of round and only one round happened after the profile was selected.
I did the interview at the IBM company. It was a very simple one-to-one interview. The interviewer asked about basics questions on my projects and programmes. She also helped me understand on where I went wrong and areas to improve.
A recruiter reached out to me about scheduling some time to speak. They just scheduled a time without even confirming my availability first. Thought it would be an initial phone screen, but was a technical interview with someone different than I was emailing. The lack of communication and information was disappointing
I first received an online language test. Then got invited for an offline coding round. It was a fairly average-level question with 7-8 test cases on the HackerRank platform. People who passed even 3-4 test cases got selected for the next round.
