      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at IBM (Atlanta, GA) in Dec 2016

      Interview

      I received a 3-hour coding challenge with 8 questions a day after I applied online. They use HireVue and it records the entire process. There were 3 code challenges and 5 personal questions. It was slightly overwhelming to be recorded and it's safe to say I botched it. I haven't received a response since the challenge.

      I interviewed at IBM

      Interview

      I did two coding challenges. Both of them involved programming in Python and/or SQL, but I did not hear back after the second one.... Otherwise, it was fairly normal process, and I like the company alright.

      Question 1

      They asked me to do a coding challenge each round.
