Software Engineer Interview Experience - Toronto, Canada
Process
It was a lengthy process. First, they had you do a coding test.
Then came the IBM IPAT Test. This second test was the harder part, in my opinion. You were given only 45 seconds for each question. Although some questions were fairly easy, there were some tricky ones that you might have needed a bit more time on.
I received the rejection email a bit afterward.
