I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at IBM (Austin, TX) in Oct 2017
Interview
First round was digital meaning you were given questions through a video recording and had to record your responses. If you passed this round, you were moved into second rounds with a district manager who would conduct your typical interview questions over the phone/skype. Last round was a phone call interview with a specific team manager that you would potentially be working with. If you make it through all three rounds you would be given the position with the team manager
The interview process can vary by company and role, but most follow a fairly standard sequence. Here’s what you can generally expect:
You submit your application (resume, cover letter, portfolio if relevant). A recruiter or hiring manager reviews it to see if your background matches the role.
It’s very easy, was a quick call, and they asked about behavioral questions and skills. Told me that if they liked my profile they would call me in the next days.
The interview process was a positive experience overall—well organized, professional, and welcoming. Communication was clear throughout, and the interviewers created an open, respectful environment that made it easy to have a genuine conversation.
