I applied online. I interviewed at IBM (Hursley, England) in Nov 2022
Interview
The assessment centre was not as daunting as expected, the environment was very nice, the group activities were fun and my interviewer was very friendly. I'd say make sure you are ready to work well as a team and think about how you contributed in past internships or university courseworks as well as prepare for general interview questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about when you had to work as a team. Who are IBM's main competitors? How do IBM's products and services compare against its competitors? Tell me about a time when you had to solve a problem. What was the outcome?
I was sent an online assessment and they have no c++/ c option for writing the code so I failed the assessment. I received rejection email the day after the OA.
