I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Guadalajara, Jalisco) in Aug 2024
Interview
Bastante rápido, tuve una primera entrevista técnica con mi manager y un senior dev, fueron preguntas técnicas y ejercicios de programación (para la posición que apliqué fue principalmente Python y C). Una segunda entrevista con mi manager principalmente para conocer un poco del proyecto y si estaba convencido de participar en él. Tuve una respuesta en menos de un mes.

## 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.
