The interview process first started with answering some basic education and career questions so the employer understands what you are personally trying to strive for. Once a 1:1 interview was scheduled, you were usually taken into a private conference room or the office of your hiring manager and asked several questions. The questions covered topics such as education, previous employment, experience in the computer engineering field, hobbies, and what to expect to learn from IBM. All these questions were simple and fairly easy. Once the sit-down interview was over, my hiring manager took me on a tour of the IBM campus and labs to see the projects that were currently being worked on. After the tour, my hiring manager asked if I had any questions about the company and the job position. After a few weeks, I received an offer.

The most difficult question was to explain how to test certain basic household items. The employer was looking for in-depth and detailed ways to cover all the components of the items.
