Software Engineer Interview Experience - Srikakulam, India
Process
I applied through the mail, which was forwarded by a friend. A written test was conducted on Hackerrank. After one week, I received an email to fill in my details on a survey form, and on the next day, I got an email for an interview.
Questions
In the first round, the interviewer asked some questions on Python concepts and gave two coding questions on arrays and linked lists. Then, he moved to OS and asked me to tell what I knew about OS and computer architecture.
After one week, I received a rejection email stating, "This role should also require strong knowledge of OS, computer architecture, C, and C++, along with Python."
He didn't ask me anything about C and C++. Even, he didn't ask me any particular concepts by naming them; he asked me to tell what I knew about OS.

- 2.0Was once a company that cared about its employees, but that is no longer trueSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeePoughkeepsie, New York, United StatesMay 21, 2009Pros: The "workers" still have faith in IBM, even though management is trying to break that faith. IBM has a very flexible work policy. You can pretty much work your own hours as long as you get your job done. That's one of the things that first-line managers still have control over.Cons: The erosion of benefits, retirement, and salary, along with the offshoring of jobs, has taken a terrible toll on employee morale. Having been around to see the days of management that cared about employees, it really breaks my heart to see what IBM has turned into.
