      Software Development Interview

      Anonymous employee

      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at IBM (Toronto, ON) in Aug 2017

      Interview

      Had two 30 minute interviews with a software architect and my to-be manager. We spoke mostly about the product and the team and discussed some problem-solving questions related to the product.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Each had one technical question and a 15-minute discussion on potential solutions with some whiteboard coding for specific parts of the solution.

      Software Development Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Brisbane
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Brisbane) in Aug 2015

      Interview

      I submitted my application on Sunday, 2 days later I had an aptitude test (very abstract number sequences and algebra). The aptitude test wasn't that bad, in fact it was kind of fun, the part that was absolutely TERRIFYING was the HR interview! The Interview was a week after the aptitude test. They try and lull you into a false sense of security by saying they will discuss your skills and experience and why you want to work for them (pretty standard and I'd be more than happy to oblige) but don't let them fool you! In the horrifying reality they will ask a list of complicated behavioral questions used to dismantle any articulate thought processes you thought you had and leave you a sobbing mess shoving chocolate cake into your face. I thought I was prepared with multiple scenarios for these kind of questions...I was NOT prepared! They want you to REALLY think. Overall it was horrifying but I carried a lot away from this experience - You can never be prepared enough...NEVER! But in all honestly I'll be trying again next year.

      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Atlanta, GA) in Apr 2015

      Interview

      After applying with an in-company recommendation, was contacted about an interview in about a week. Two different interviews, both purely behavioral and asking about my experience. First was with an engineering manager, the second was with the engineer I would be working under. Overall, Easy experience.
