I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Poona) in Nov 2023
Interview
How long does it take to get hired at IBM? The hiring process at IBM takes an average of 13.08 days when considering 3,983 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Consulting had the quickest hiring process (on average 1 day), whereas Software Engineer.
I did the interview at the IBM company. It was a very simple one-to-one interview. The interviewer asked about basics questions on my projects and programmes. She also helped me understand on where I went wrong and areas to improve.
A recruiter reached out to me about scheduling some time to speak. They just scheduled a time without even confirming my availability first. Thought it would be an initial phone screen, but was a technical interview with someone different than I was emailing. The lack of communication and information was disappointing
I first received an online language test. Then got invited for an offline coding round. It was a fairly average-level question with 7-8 test cases on the HackerRank platform. People who passed even 3-4 test cases got selected for the next round.
