Process
A one-hour technical interview with a senior software engineer.
The interviewer was polite and repeatedly mentioned that he was not looking for an accurate answer but rather wanted to examine my way of thinking about the solution.
There were a few behavioral questions at the beginning, followed by three technical questions:
- One question on SQL
- One question on Geometry
- One coding question
Questions
Given a set of points in the 2D coordinate system, find the radius of the smallest circle which encompasses all the given points.

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.
