Old folks trying hard to modernize
Old folks trying hard to modernize
The culture around IBM is definitely one of change. It's obvious that the company knows that it currently thinks/operates like a dinosaur and is trying to modernize both its operations and its software development styles.
Still a dinosaur. In my experience, they used old tools, old methods of software development, etc. I even saw developers email code to each other while I was there!
Give your interns cooler stuff and more fun events that are paid for by the company.
While it is certainly a little dumb for us young folks (and coincidentally better engineers/designers) to be swayed by a company flying us out to Seattle for a Macklemore concert, it does. So, take note.

IBM Interview Experiences
Software Developer Intern
OA test. I had two questions. LC style. One was a database query and the other was a hash map question. It was not too difficult. I did not pass all the tests. I remember the first question; I missed 3-4 cases. The second one passed all.
Software Developer Intern
The open assessment, as of now, asked me for two coding problems on HackerRank. One was easy, and one was difficult. You have to do them within a week, or else you are automatically disqualified.
Software Developer Intern
Online test, one interview, and more. You are more likely to speak about the things in your resume and much about your logical thinking capacity. The interviewer was very good; it went up to an hour or so.
