Process
One 30-minute phone interview and the second round consisted of two 30-minute phone technical interviews.
The first interview was really basic; it involved discussing your background and qualifications.
The second round of technical interviews was surprisingly easy. They asked questions like "What is polymorphism?" and other basic OOP questions. The second interviewer didn't even ask any questions.

Great Tech, Annoying Management Changes
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Rochester, Minnesota, United States
July 12, 2014
Pros: Big Blue has many great opportunities to advance your career.
Internal education and external training compensation are provided.
The atmosphere is more contemporary and relaxed.
Being involved in leading-edge technology that has truly shaped the world.
Cons: There are so many management changes; it's difficult to build a relationship with your manager. It seems like you're always starting over. So much is focused on statistics for your job instead of the efforts.

Worth Your While
Firmware Developer • Current Employee

Pros: - Interesting intellectual work (You're not just coding UI. You're actually using problem-solving to figure cool stuff out).
- People are generally really great.
- I don't look forward to Friday as much as I used to.
- First/second line management is especially great.
- Flexible (very).
- Learn a lot every week. Many of IBM's offerings are big enough that you'll never learn everything about them even if you work there for >30 years.
Cons: You're probably a nerd if you want to work here, but that's alright by me.
No 401k matching currently.
Some development infrastructure is really old, but it's not very bothersome.
