The interview process started with completing a few logic and reflex games on a website they provided. I did well enough and advanced to having a virtual behavioral and technical interview back to back on a day we agreed upon. These interviews were typically behavioral questions to see if you were a good fit.

I asked a lot of questions about the company and the work. They were really detailed and honest about what you would be doing, which was great and cleared all of my concerns at that time.

After the two interviews, I followed up with the person who conducted my technical interview for a couple of days. I managed to get a reply stating I was a strong candidate and just waiting for HR to arrange the offer. After waiting several weeks, I never heard a word from their HR or even the recruiter about the position since then – I was ghosted after putting so much time into those interviews and tests.

I think it was very unprofessional to not even reply to a candidate after they go through that whole process and just make them keep waiting. That said, I really didn't expect IBM would be one of those companies that do that, but anyway, I moved on.

Typical behavioral questions are followed by technical questions, specifically data structures.
