Me postulé en línea. Acudí a una entrevista en IBM (Austin, TX) en dic 2013
Entrevista
I first applied online and several months later scheduled two phone calls. The first phone call was simply preliminary background information such as what they department does and Q&A about my resume. The second phone call was a brief technical interview. This can vary depending on the department and position you apply. The last thing I had to do was to take IBM's IPAT test which is basically a skills/IQ test to determine how well you solve problems.

Pregunta 1
The IPAT test was strange but not too difficult so make sure you practice number series/patterns (ie: 2 4 6 8 .... what is the next number ) and converting word problems to algebra equations.
Applied through the company portal, completed an online coding assessment, followed by a technical interview covering data structures, algorithms, OOP concepts, and project experience. Concluded with an HR discussion about the role, career goals, availability, and compensation expectations.
## IBM Interview Process
The process began with initial resume shortlisting, followed by competitive **DSA and coding rounds** to test core technical concepts. After clearing those, I cleared two comprehensive interviews with the **Hiring Manager/Tech Expert** and **HR**.
Describe the interview process: The process consisted of three rounds: an initial online assessment focusing on data structures and algorithms, followed by two technical video interviews. The technical rounds were intensive, covering system design, live coding, and deep-dive questions into previous project experience and database optimization.
