I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (New York, NY) in Feb 2016
Interview
face to face via web app. Several programming logic questions were asked. There were questions about what I have worked on in the past and what I like to do. I had two interviews several weeks apart and it would have been nice to know that I would not be getting an offer. I thought the interviews went well but I did not receive an offer.

## IBM Interview Process
The process began with initial resume shortlisting, followed by competitive **DSA and coding rounds** to test core technical concepts. After clearing those, I cleared two comprehensive interviews with the **Hiring Manager/Tech Expert** and **HR**.
Describe the interview process: The process consisted of three rounds: an initial online assessment focusing on data structures and algorithms, followed by two technical video interviews. The technical rounds were intensive, covering system design, live coding, and deep-dive questions into previous project experience and database optimization.
