Tech giant with massive resources and really talented people.
You work on products that are touched by millions in mission critical areas.
For such a big company, it feels very nimble. You can easily reach any employee worldwide through Sametime.
It feels like a tight-knit environment, even though you are 1 or hundreds of thousands.
Every manager I have dealt with is awesome. Uber professionalism throughout.
It is a big company. It takes weeks to do some things that would be done in hours in a startup.
I wish product development was more streamlined.
That similar products were merged or shut down.
And that products would not be saddled with every single possible feature.
Every single manager I have dealt with is awesome.
So keep picking good people.
Online assessment which had two LeetCode easy/medium problems. Then an interview with two engineers that had a mix of behavioral resume questions as well as technical find-the-bug/maybe a whiteboard coding problem.
A professor, who had connections within IBM, recruited me. A division was looking for a software developer intern. I had a phone interview and was hired. The technical questions were very simple (if you know the CLR Algorithm book).
Two rounds. The first round was a HackerRank OA, and the second round was with a manager who went over your resume, your interests, and why IBM. The second round was a 45-minute interview with no coding.
