Question 1
Why would you be a good fit for our team based on your experience?
I have the web interview include 3 programming problems and 5 behavior problems. All of them are online. You need use a webcam to record you answer. When dealing with programming problem , it is better to do them on the IDE first, and then paste the answer to the web.
I applied online. I interviewed at IBM (Dublino, Dublino) in Mar 2014
Interview
Quite relaxed. Initially had a phone interview with HR, then a technical phone interview with someone on the team I was applying for accompanied with a chat with the manager. Eventually I was invited for an in-person interview and I came from across the country to attend and they were very understanding about my time. Sadly there were many applicants so not everyone got a full and thorough screening.
HR was nice, the technical test was written and I really enjoyed the interview process overall. Best I've ever had I'd say. Heard it was harder for others with a less-technical background. They were grilled more thoroughly than I was.
