I applied online. I interviewed at IBM in Oct 2016
Interview
A week after I applied for the position through IBM career site, I received a link to take the IPAT cognitive test.
I prepared for the test going through reviews and FAQs on IBM cognitive tests. Search for them on the internet. They are very helpful.
The test consisted of 2 sections. Number series and aptitude. Each section consisted around 18-20 questions and every question has got like 1minute15seconds of time. So you have to be very quick to respond.
I havent received any email about the test results yet. Waiting for the next step in the hiring process
Technical tests on top of technical tests without ever hearing from an actual person, and receiving your rejection email 4 months later from an AI agent using a prewritten script.
This was the first virtual interview I had, and the interviewer didn't ask me any questions instead he asked me to give an impromptu presentation on a project that I worked on. For the first interview it would have been nice to get a heads-up to create a presentation or be prepared to start coding a project in front of someone.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Open a text editor and start going through and coding a project you worked on.
The first round was a behavioral interview where they asked about my background, my hobbies, and my early career plans. They asked about a project listed in one of my work experiences, but the project was related to the work of the role.
