I applied online. I interviewed at IBM (San Jose, CA) in Feb 2026
Interview
Applied online. Then, took the OA, and deep dive into resume with Project manager. I was told to wait for a week to hear back for the next round. I am still waiting for next round.

This was the first virtual interview I had, and the interviewer didn't ask me any questions instead he asked me to give an impromptu presentation on a project that I worked on. For the first interview it would have been nice to get a heads-up to create a presentation or be prepared to start coding a project in front of someone.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1

The first round was a behavioral interview where they asked about my background, my hobbies, and my early career plans. They asked about a project listed in one of my work experiences, but the project was related to the work of the role.
