Process
Don't waste your time, and reconsider joining this organization. I strongly advise against participating in any interviews here.
This organization's HR hiring management is among the worst I've encountered. I had shared my salary expectations prior to the interviews, but after the interview, IBM extended an offer with a significantly lower CTC than my current package. Not only was there no salary increase, but they also failed to match my current compensation.
It's puzzling that the project manager determines the final salary and doesn't align it with your current earnings. If there were budget constraints, this should have been communicated in advance to prevent the unnecessary waste of time. The entire interview process consisted of three rounds:
- The initial stage involved an online test on HackerRank.
- The second round was a virtual interview covering topics such as Java, Spring, Spring Boot, Kafka, microservices, SQL, and NoSQL.
- The final round was conducted by the project manager.

IBM Work Experiences
- 3.0Declining business and low moraleSenior Software Engineer • Former EmployeeBeijing, Beijing, ChinaSeptember 14, 2020Pros: Work-life balance, decent pay.Cons: Lack of growth opportunities and no job security.
- 4.0Great Leave, Slow HikesSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeNovember 1, 2021Pros: Good managers are there, and the best thing is that they provide unlimited sick leave.Cons: Slow growth in terms of annual hike.
- 1.0Not good for womenSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeBengaluru, Karnataka, IndiaMay 15, 2024Pros: Just some time you can have less work.Cons: After performing well, they will say utilization is very low, even if you have 99.6% utilization out of 100%. Taking own leave is a crime (includes sick leave as well). Unlimited sick leave is a myth here. New joiners, don't fall for this trap. Need to do irrelevant certifications, just to earn badges. People say it's good for women, but that is also a myth.
