I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IBM in Dec 2016
Interview
Asked to take a online hirevue programming test. Test had about 7 questions that you record yourself saying your response. There were 3 programming questions. Each one was do-abe. I would say there was a easy, medium, and difficult programming challenge.
Overall I am extremely disappointed in IBM. I am 99% sure the email I got the automated because it was exactly 31 days since I submitted my application and I am assuming they just did not look at my application in a set time period even after completing their programming assessment.
This was the first virtual interview I had, and the interviewer didn't ask me any questions instead he asked me to give an impromptu presentation on a project that I worked on. For the first interview it would have been nice to get a heads-up to create a presentation or be prepared to start coding a project in front of someone.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Open a text editor and start going through and coding a project you worked on.
The first round was a behavioral interview where they asked about my background, my hobbies, and my early career plans. They asked about a project listed in one of my work experiences, but the project was related to the work of the role.
45 min virtual 1:1 interview with a senior engineer manager. In my case, I only had 1 round of interview. Some might have more than one interview, usually around 2 rounds of interviews.
