Process
There was a phone interview that included a simple coding exercise and questions about the languages I use. After that, I received a fly-down for a full-day interview. There were about 20 of us, and we went through 4 stages:
- 1:1 coding review
- Group panel to discuss technologies and languages
- Presentation
- Group problem-solving exercise
Questions
A week before my fly-down, I was asked to redesign the crossfit.com website. We were time-limited to approximately five hours of work.

Pros: IBM is so big that the opportunities are very diverse. The company is transitioning into a new cool place to work. You can feel it in the air.
Cons: I have no real complaints yet. I work under IBM Design as a developer, so I'm constantly covered by designers. Not a complaint, but not a 'dev shop' like some might prefer.

Pros: 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.
