      Entry Level Software Engineer Interview

      19 Nov 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Seattle, WA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at IBM (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2020

      Interview

      This was for the Entry Level Cognitive Developer. Took their weird logic assessment which honestly felt more insulting than anything; at the ends of various "games" it would speed up / become unrealistic to get many right answers. Got an online technical assessment on web development concepts that weren't mentioned in the job description. Rejected from both this job and a completely unrelated job (firmware programming i think, which I am much more knowledgeable in) I assume based off of this second assessment.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Technical assessments were (I assume) dependent on roles. The logic test can be seen via a simple google search

      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at IBM

      Interview

      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.

      Application

      I interviewed at IBM

      Interview

      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.
