I applied online. I interviewed at IBM (Pune) in Mar 2015
Interview
Applied for developer role for core and adv java requirement in IBM ISL Pune.
1. technical round - face to face - 2 Advisory Software Developers took the technical round with general java questions.
2. received reply after 2-3 days and the next day director took HR+technical kind of round.
Both rounds went well. they assured me for job role. also director told package.
3 months went. then received call that requirement is changed from java to java,c,c++.
i thought its the same product with all these technologies and said ok as i was thinking to work on core n adv java specific tasks and i thought there would be other team doing c/c++/maintenance work.
again telephonic technical interview taken by 2-3 developers.
got selected and received updates on next day.
After joining i felt stuck as there was almost no team. So far felt lonely.

> director asked for recently read non-technical books and goals.
A recruiter reached out to me about scheduling some time to speak. They just scheduled a time without even confirming my availability first. Thought it would be an initial phone screen, but was a technical interview with someone different than I was emailing. The lack of communication and information was disappointing
I first received an online language test. Then got invited for an offline coding round. It was a fairly average-level question with 7-8 test cases on the HackerRank platform. People who passed even 3-4 test cases got selected for the next round.
