Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó 2 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en IBM en may 2009
Entrevista
I applied online for a job at IBM. I heard from an IBM hiring manager and had a brief phone interview. Since there was a match, I was invited to come into the office for a formal interview. There were four people at the interview including myself. The interview was reasonable. I thought I did ok, but I did not hear anything for several weeks. I followed up, but they said the position had been filled. No hard feelings, however better communication on their part would have been nice.
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.
