Front End Developer Interview Experience - Austin, Texas
Process
The process began with a portfolio submission.
After review, I was asked to apply with my resume.
Next, I was asked to complete a phone interview with a live code challenge.
I was then invited down for an in-person group interview.
This consisted of:
- Two one-on-one interviews (one was a live code challenge and the other was a resume/portfolio + personality review)
- Group work
The group work involved a design problem that we were tasked to solve in about an hour.
As part of the challenge, we were required to present our findings to a panel of reviewers (IBM Design employees) who offered feedback and asked questions.
The group work was assessing collaboration and presentation skills.
Less than four days later, I received a phone call with a job offer.

IBM Work Experiences
- 2.0Dishonest Manager, Dirty WorkspaceFront End Developer • Former EmployeeAustin, Texas, United StatesMarch 10, 2019Pros: Easy to disappear and do nothing. Easy ride for those with nothing to contribute.Cons: Manager asked inappropriate personal favors, including donating to his amateur baseball team and coming to his house to do work without offering compensation. The workspace itself is dirty (an old server room) and never swept. There is no kitchen, no snacks, and not even free coffee. Communication between remote teams is disorganized. Work requirements and deadlines are unclear. Project managers do not reply to emails.
- 4.0Front-end DeveloperFront End Developer • Current EmployeeAustin, Texas, United StatesJanuary 3, 2018Pros: Good benefits: nice health insurance, paid time off, decent vacation days, and sometimes you're allowed to work remotely. The culture in the design studio is young and fun, but outside of that, it's very legacy.Cons: The company is very wishy-washy in terms of who they give certain benefits to. Some employees are allowed to work remotely, but for the most part, co-location has forced families to uproot their lives and move to an office or lose their job. My manager doesn't know anything about development, so it's been hard to get a promotion. Some of the projects can be a bit dull.
