I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at IBM (Pune) in Apr 2013
Interview
3 technical rounds back to back focussing on scripting etc. Questions around coding and perl scripting, Manual testing and Automation. In person interview, helpful panel - they wanted you to succeed.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions around coding and perl scripting, Manual testing and Automation.
The interview process at IBM
was smooth and straightforward. The technical discussion mainly focused on SQL join queries between two tables, along with a general conversation about AI and Generative AI concepts. The interviewers were friendly, and the overall difficulty level of the round was easy to moderate.
I applied online without referrals
First OA with 2 coding questions, medium to hard level, 1 hour time limit
Then 5 online recorded behavior questions, only 1 try, no retries
Next round is meeting the hiring manager and a senior engineer in the team
The online test interview process was well structured and user friendly. Instructions were clear, questions relevant, and platform stable. Timed sections assessed skills effectively, providing fair evaluation and experience overall.
