Positive ExperienceGot Offer
Process
One coding + video round followed by one video interview.
Coding + Video round:
- I had to record my responses for 10 questions related to concepts in computer science.
- 3 coding challenges: 30 mins, 1 hour, 1 hour each with increasing difficulty. You can video record your logic for solving the question after the time is up. This helps even if your code doesn't compile; it helps to convey your thoughts across. (I could solve only one completely and the other halfway through).
Video Interview: If you pass the coding challenge, you will be contacted for a video interview. 1 hour interview. Initial 30 mins a chat on my resume and "how will you handle these scenarios in office?" Next 30 mins - One coding round on an online text editor. The interviewer helps you along the way if you get stuck.
Overall a positive experience!

This is not a good place to work in the long run
Advisory Software Engineer • Current Employee
Raleigh, North Carolina, United States
April 22, 2010
Pros: It was a good place to work when I first started in 1998. They used to pay for tuition reimbursement and provide professional classes every year. The bonuses were good, and it was a good environment to work in.
Cons: With the recent job cuts, morale for US employees has gone down. The goal is to get US-based employees below 100K and increase the headcount in India, which is already above 90K. Most employees work way too much overtime, and most are stressed out. Many people are worried about losing their jobs. There is no work-life balance at IBM. Most people work from home. Most managers are not qualified to be managers and lack the education or certification in management.
