IBM

In my opinion, it was very short. There were two parts: * An over-the-phone interview. * A flight to a location with other interviewees. I must say it seemed organized, but crunched for time. It felt more like something from the 1980s.

The interview process involved: * One day of interviews. * Two telephonic rounds at their office premises. * One managerial + HR video call. * A final HR call for offer confirmation. The core technical telephonic interview lasted for over an hour.

Database questions: * Given a use case, design tables. * Write queries to retrieve specific data. Java OOP questions. Synchronization in Java. HashMap and hashCode questions. Hibernate questions. Flex questions.
