I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IBM in Oct 2024
Interview
Tldr: Ghosted, would not recommend wasting your time.
First round was with director, more behavioral. Final round of interview with HM and team, technical with 1 coding exercise(easy). Sent thank you emails to recruiter, hm, director couple days later. It's been 3 weeks and so far radio silence...
I applied online. I interviewed at IBM (Toronto, ON)
Interview
Easy, just a few questions asked about architecture decisions, technical concepts as well as language specific questions. After there was some behavioural questions and about previous work, experience and side projects.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is an an API and can you give me an example of an API for an ice cream machine?
I applied, got a HackerRank assessment, had a phone interview with recruiter, then interview with a developer. It took about 2 months. I would say that it picked up in pace as soon as the first email from the recruiter came.
