I applied online. I interviewed at IBM (Lowell, MA) in Dec 2025
Interview
OA first, then a resume deep dive interview, and then one month passed, and then another resume deep dive interview, another month passes, and then I finally got the offer
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Imagine you deployed a feature that passed code review, testing, and all release checks, but after release users began complaining about the experience or functionality. How would you investigate the issue, prioritize responses, communicate with the team and stakeholders, and determine whether to hotfix, roll back, or iterate on the feature?
This was the first virtual interview I had, and the interviewer didn't ask me any questions instead he asked me to give an impromptu presentation on a project that I worked on. For the first interview it would have been nice to get a heads-up to create a presentation or be prepared to start coding a project in front of someone.

Question 1
Open a text editor and start going through and coding a project you worked on.
The first round was a behavioral interview where they asked about my background, my hobbies, and my early career plans. They asked about a project listed in one of my work experiences, but the project was related to the work of the role.
45 min virtual 1:1 interview with a senior engineer manager. In my case, I only had 1 round of interview. Some might have more than one interview, usually around 2 rounds of interviews.
