I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at IBM (New York, NY) in Mar 2016
Interview
A series of five interviews with different managers. The purpose of this was to determine which team that I would be on. Each manager was given a choice of who they wanted on their team, so you really want to stand out in this phase of the interview process. If you do not stand out, you will not get the job. It is as simple as that.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about any certifications you have that could apply to this internship?
The interview process can vary by company and role, but most follow a fairly standard sequence. Here’s what you can generally expect:
You submit your application (resume, cover letter, portfolio if relevant). A recruiter or hiring manager reviews it to see if your background matches the role.
It’s very easy, was a quick call, and they asked about behavioral questions and skills. Told me that if they liked my profile they would call me in the next days.
The interview process was a positive experience overall—well organized, professional, and welcoming. Communication was clear throughout, and the interviewers created an open, respectful environment that made it easy to have a genuine conversation.
