I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Sofia, Sofia (city)) in Nov 2023
Interview
The first call was pleasantly surprising, I applied not through their website and I forgot that I alwready had a registration. The HR manager told me that they have taken my old and new data and applied instead of me. All I had to do is confirm some of the information and agreements.
I did not get the job in the end, but the experience was memorable.
After that there was a 1 hour HR + Tech interview.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at IBM (Hyderābād) in Oct 2025
Interview
It wasn’t an interview; it was an assignment consisting of two coding questions.
First Question:
It was similar to LeetCode Problem 56 (Merge Intervals). The input was an array of tuples, where each tuple contained a processId and the time required to run that process. The task was to determine which processId had the maximum total running time.
Second Question:
The task was to count the maximum number of consecutive set bits (i.e., consecutive 1s) in a number.
I don’t have much experience with bit manipulation, so this one was a bit challenging for me.
I solved both questions in about 40 minutes. However, I later found out that the role was intended for experienced candidates. Since I’m a recent graduate, I didn’t make it to the next round.
