I applied online. I interviewed at IBM (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2025
Interview
I applied for an entry position at IBM. A few minutes after my application was submitted I received an email asking to do an assessment test. This was done in HackerRank. It was one hour and they suggested to use a language that was requested in the application. I use Python for the assessment. It was pretty simple, just two questions of easy difficulty. I'm still waiting for a response,
Technical tests on top of technical tests without ever hearing from an actual person, and receiving your rejection email 4 months later from an AI agent using a prewritten script.
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
Open a text editor and start going through and coding a project you worked on.
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.
