Question 1
Went for an intervew on 6th april 18.I had a very dissatisfying interview experience, which has changed my expectations about an organization like IBM. I am not expressing my concerns as a "Not selected" candidate, rather as a person who like to take the positives from all my interviews and move forward.
The interviewer focused on asking unrelated questions as per my work experience and my interests. Later on, it was evident that she did not have my resume, which might have been a completely alternate prospect.
Conclusively I honestly feel that I had wasted 1 hour of my time off work, as I have nothing positive to take on from today.
The Best Joke Was: I told her I have worked in WPF, WCF, WEB API, SSRS, SQL and then she asks again it means you have not worked in C# and asp.net.
1.atlease Interviewer should have technical knowledge .he should be able to unsterstand the basic eg. (if someone is working in wpf it means that person is working in .Net C#,so there should not be stupid question from the intervewer side like then you have not worked in C#.Net )
2.do tell the person who takes the interview please have the resume with you and don't just google and ask which she herself doesn't know.
Applied through the company portal, completed an online coding assessment, followed by a technical interview covering data structures, algorithms, OOP concepts, and project experience. Concluded with an HR discussion about the role, career goals, availability, and compensation expectations.
## IBM Interview Process
The process began with initial resume shortlisting, followed by competitive **DSA and coding rounds** to test core technical concepts. After clearing those, I cleared two comprehensive interviews with the **Hiring Manager/Tech Expert** and **HR**.
Describe the interview process: The process consisted of three rounds: an initial online assessment focusing on data structures and algorithms, followed by two technical video interviews. The technical rounds were intensive, covering system design, live coding, and deep-dive questions into previous project experience and database optimization.
