      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Kozhikode, ) in Aug 2024

      Interview

      The recruitment process consists of 3 rounds. 1. Coding Round 2. Technical Interview 3. HR round Coding round consists of 2 coding questions. Questions are different for everyone. I got a simple question on RegEx and another based on strings(leetcode medium level). Out of 200 people attempted the OA, about 60 were shortlisted for the interview process. This is an offline interview and there were 2 members in my interview panel. They were very friendly and smooth in handling the candidates.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Firstly, all the basic questions on OOPs are asked(four pillars of OOPs) and I answered them correctly. Then, basic questions from DBMS were asked. The interviewer explained a situation of campus recruitment process and asked me to design the outline of the DataBase that can be used for this situation. Then, they asked about stacks and queues and asked me to implement them using OOPs. After that, they asked me about the sorting techniques that I know. They wanted me to explain heap sort and I answered them that I don't know the implementation of heap sort. So, they asked me the algorithm explanation of bubble sort, then I explained that. Later, they asked me that what data structure do I like? I said "Graphs", I also explained them of why I like graphs. They asked me few questions on Linked Lists like 1.Reverse a linked list and 2.Find middle node of a linked list After this, they asked me whether I have any questions for them. I asked few questions about the company and how they had so many patents on IBM. The interviewers politely answered my questions and I was advanced to the next round. Then in the second round(HR), they asked the following questions, 1.Suppose you have a team of 5 members and 2 of them left you due to some unavoidable reasons just before the project submission deadline. How will you respond to the situation? 2.How will you react to a situation where at the moment of delivery you came across a serious problem in your project? 3.Why do you think you are fit for this role? 4.Do you have any questions for me? Even though I was not selected for the role, it was a good experience especially with the interviewers being so friendly.

      I interviewed at IBM (Boston, MA)

      Interview

      Mostly behavioral style questions across all rounds, with some technical deep dive into resume. Group style round with hiring managers and team all at once in the final round. Wasn't super difficult.
