Interview
IBM's interview process typically involves application screening, followed by online assessments assessing technical and cognitive skills. Successful candidates progress to video or in-person interviews, covering technical, behavioral, and cultural fit questions. This may lead to further rounds, such as technical presentations or team interactions, culminating in an offer decision.
