Entrevista
A project resource initially conducted the Technical round of Interview at IBM location on phone. Then said I will be notified of the outcome. After a few weeks got the call from the HR and said they wanted to have another round, and the same resource conducted this one as well. This time, he verified if I have got myself updated based on the previous interview.
Once done with Technical Interview, HR contacted me and had a discussion for half an hour. This primarily was only salary negotiation.
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.
