I applied online. I interviewed at IBM in Feb 2024
Interview
The first round was an English assessment to complete in 10 mins. The questions were related to right spelling of the words and spotting the errors in the phrases. The assesment was multiple choice. There are indian websites and also videos on youtube that prepares you to this assesment.
I applied online. I interviewed at IBM (Manila, Manila)
Interview
I had a bad experience with the interview. I was a fresh grad and didn't have a lot of experience, but I tried anyways. The interviewer keeps on chuckling with each other which can be offensive because I am trying my best to answer their questions.
