Process
The application process began with a coding challenge.
About three months later, I was asked to interview.
There was one behavioral interview with the person who would become my mentor/manager during the internship.
She mainly asked about my resume, technologies I was familiar with, and other standard questions.
I received the offer one to two days after.

IBM i is the worst team to join in IBM ISDL
Backend Developer • Current Employee
Hyderābād, Telangana, India
May 29, 2024
Pros: No pros as of now.
Cons: Please do not join the IBM i team at any cost. The manager is the torchbearer of negativity here. The development is totally unorganized. The project was transferred from the USA to India, and there was no proper KT.
The manager does not have the patience to build the team. Please do not join any team under him. He works like a detective to find faults in your work and uses all his creativity to write negative feedback in checkpoints.
There are multiple teams under this manager, starting from Java, MQ, NodeJS, and Networking. A new Compiler team is going to be formed soon.
Please stay away from such a toxic team. During interviews, they will be really sweet and will tell you false things about the work. If you want to join, please do so at your own risk.
