I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at IBM in Jan 2010
Interview
nice people, very friendly and approachable.
question range is quite large
a lot of things need to cover
generally, just be natural, keep calm and talk a lot, sometimes they will give hints or something to help out if you seems to get stuck.
just general ideas also help i guess
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given an array of size n, find all the possible sub set of the array of size k(all the subsets must be of size k).
Applied through the company portal, completed an online coding assessment, followed by a technical interview covering data structures, algorithms, OOP concepts, and project experience. Concluded with an HR discussion about the role, career goals, availability, and compensation expectations.
## 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.
