Process
I applied and was sent a HackerRank assessment 24 hours later. The HackerRank assessment was 45 minutes long and included one medium and one hard question. I solved the medium question but was unable to solve the hard question. I was not sent a rejection letter. A week later, I checked the status of my application and saw that I had not been selected to move forward.
Questions
1 medium and 1 hard LeetCode-style question. IBM has, however, found a great way to explain the question, making it more confusing than LeetCode.
