I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Dublin, Dublin) in Dec 2024
Interview
The process was quick, First was an online coding assessment done on hackerrank. A week later I was invited to an online 30 min interview which talked about my projects and experience. I got invited to the final round which was an in person interview. I had a negative experience - while the interviewer was nice and the interview wasn't difficult the HR that talked to me on the phone explicitly stated that the interview wouldn't be technical so I prepared for behavioral questions. To my surprise the interview was mainly technical and I came unprepared. I was able to answer the questions but nowhere near the quality I would have liked if I had time to prepare. I shortly received a noreply rejection email.
