Process

IBM has a phenomenal hiring process where they use Watson to match candidates with jobs based on their skills.

There are four main steps to the hiring process:

  1. Online coding and behavioral test (HireVue, 3 or 4 hours).
  2. If you pass Step 1, you proceed to a live "Guru" technical interview with a manager, where you either do whiteboard coding or answer simple questions.
  3. If you pass Step 2, there is a behavioral interview with a higher-level employee.
  4. If you pass all the steps above, you are invited to a two-day onsite event. There, you will work in a random team to create and present a project. IBM covers all travel and hotel expenses.

Overall, the hiring process went very smoothly. The onsite events were especially fun. If you are invited to the event, you are most likely to be hired, but work hard to be the best team in the presentations and make sure to show you work well with other people on the team.
