Process
I was asked to take an online HireVue programming test. The test had about 7 questions where you record yourself explaining your responses. There were 3 programming questions. Each one was doable. I would say there was an easy, medium, and difficult programming challenge.
Overall, I am extremely disappointed in IBM. I am 99% sure the email I received was automated because it was exactly 31 days since I submitted my application, and I am assuming they simply did not look at my application within a set time period, even after I completed their programming assessment.

IBM Work Experiences
- 3.0Known Company, But DirectionlessEntry Level Software Engineer • Former EmployeeSan Jose, California, United StatesNovember 21, 2023Pros: Well-known company. Good experience.Cons: The company has no direction. As soon as the next big thing comes out, they will try to shift the whole company to do that one thing. They are always late to the party and competing with companies that actually hire top talent. Layoffs are commonplace, and unless you are working on the current thing, you are at risk.

Unlimited sick leaves after the doctor's approval. Medical policy at a nominal rate of 1400 for 3 Lac coverage.Cons: A manager-driven company. Few managers evaluate your performance; they just see what you do for them.
