I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at IBM (Bangalore Rural) in Mar 2025
Interview
in the aptitude all the questions were from computer networks and operating systems.
The first round was the group discussion and after that you will be shortlisted for the Technical Interview where again they ask questions from the computer networks, operating systems and they also consider any major certification program experience apart from your degree.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They were asking that I am comfortable with the job profile or not as it was kind of hardware level system engineer job as you have to switch your field from software engineer to a hardware engineer.
The interview process at IBM
was smooth and straightforward. The technical discussion mainly focused on SQL join queries between two tables, along with a general conversation about AI and Generative AI concepts. The interviewers were friendly, and the overall difficulty level of the round was easy to moderate.
I applied online without referrals
First OA with 2 coding questions, medium to hard level, 1 hour time limit
Then 5 online recorded behavior questions, only 1 try, no retries
Next round is meeting the hiring manager and a senior engineer in the team
The online test interview process was well structured and user friendly. Instructions were clear, questions relevant, and platform stable. Timed sections assessed skills effectively, providing fair evaluation and experience overall.
