I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at IBM (Toronto, ON) in Aug 2024
Interview
Here’s a refined version:
You'll need to solve two coding questions within one hour and test your code. The difficulty level is fair, not too easy, so make sure you have a stable internet connection. There's no need to turn on your camera, and you can work exclusively on your PC for the tests.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
something like matrix operation, calculating pixels of images
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.
