Graduate Software Developer Interview Experience - Leicester, United Kingdom
Process
Simple CV and cover letter submission. Nice!
A phone call covering basic stuff, including what I know about CIC.
An assessment centre, which was half a day, had:
- One interview about general competencies.
- A group task where my group were complete flops.
- A presentation of IBM CIC.
Then a technical interview which covered aspects of the SDLC, including testing, etc. It was a very enjoyable tech interview as it covered stuff I learned in uni.
An Ipat test, which is 'what comes next' and which I don't like, and general arithmetic questions, at which I think I did well.
Questions
Examples of teamwork, etc. General questions like that.
Technical questions, such as explaining SDLC or OOP concepts, TDD.

- 4.0It's a good place to workGraduate Software Developer • Former EmployeeHursley, England, United KingdomOctober 4, 2017Pros: - People working in IBM are nicer than average. - Challenging work environment with a lot of space for your ideas. - With time, if you are keen to stay in the company (and lucky enough), you can easily change your day job.Cons: Salary, maybe? I don't have much comparison to do. I found IBM quite okay for everything. The only problem I see is that if you join as a graduate, there is a high probability you don't get to do the job you want (i.e., support instead of development), which is a bit annoying for a fresh starter.
