Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó 6 días. Acudí a una entrevista en IBM (Atlanta, GA)
Entrevista
Never got to speak to a recruiter. Before they even phone screened me, they sent me a 3 hour coding test. I thought this was a bit absurd as this is a long amount of time to spend so early in the process but eventually decided to do it. I completed it and passed all the test cases, except a couple efficiency ones. Today I got a pretty automated message declining me from continuing the interview process. After spending 3 hours of my time, they deny me without the decency of providing feedback. This is inconsiderate a true waste of candidates valuable time. I highly recommend avoiding interviewing for these positions unless the process improves.

## 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.
