I was sent the IBM coding challenge a day or two after I applied. The challenge consisted of 7-8 questions:

• 3 were coding problems that you had to solve
• The remainder were a mix of behavioral and verbal technical questions that required webcam responses.

This challenge lasted about 4 hours, despite the email stating that it would typically last 2-3 hours.

Two days after I completed the challenge, I was notified that I passed and could proceed to a face-to-face interview the following week. The face-to-face interview was via webcam with a senior software engineer and was an hour long.

In his own words, there are no right or wrong answers during the interview. Instead, he was more interested in my personality and thought process. The interview was mostly about my interests, the extent of my knowledge in certain areas, one whiteboard question, and one brain teaser.

A week after the interview, I was notified that the position was given to someone else.
