Process
There were two rounds.
The first round was the technical interview, where they asked technical questions on the technologies I worked on, such as Spring Boot and microservices.
The second round was the HR round.
Questions
The first round was a technical interview, covering topics such as:
- What are the advantages of microservices?
- How do microservices communicate?
- Annotations used in Spring Boot?
This was followed by some more technical questions.
The next round was the HR round, where we discussed salary expectations, why IBM, and why I was leaving my current company.
