      Software Engineer(Internship) Interview

      May 3, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. I interviewed at IBM in Apr 2017

      Interview

      After a brief phone screen that covered my personal history and projects, I was invited onsite. There, I interviewed with a team of employees. The beginning questions were somewhat generic "tell us about yourself" as an opportunity to discuss any big school/personal work I had done. Then we moved onto the technical portion, where they gave me a scenario (building a site for a store to sell records), and asked me how I would manage the data. This portion went fairly well, with the team actively engaging me and asking additional questions during my answer, presumably as a test of how I handle working in a group setting. Left feeling pretty good about my performance. Received a call some days afterward that all internships throughout the company had been put on hold, and so they weren't moving forward. I'm fairly certain that it was a white lie to make me feel better, but I appreciated the consideration.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Say you were building a site that sells music records. If we wanted to keep track of customer purchases, how what data would you track and how?
