IBM, a proud tradition and a place to do honest, relevant work
IBM, a proud tradition and a place to do honest, relevant work
Work/life balance at IBM is better than at most other top-tier IT companies. There are several good projects within IBM for those who are motivated to seek them out, but the company is not dynamic and bleeding-edge enough to provide great experience to all its engineers.
Being a large corporation with a smaller footprint in the most cutting-edge technologies, I believe it is difficult to demonstrate innovative solutions without being hindered by service work and other duties.
It is easy to get stuck in a rut where you are not learning universally applicable skills.
Early adoption and encouraging the workforce to work with the most current technologies are two important factors in recruiting and retaining top talent. Also, the workforce must be diverse enough to make people feel comfortable with one another.

Backend Software Developer Intern
I completed a HackerRank assessment with one coding question and one SQL question. They were not very difficult if you commonly do HackerRank questions. I would say it was medium-level.
Software Engineer, Backend
I got sent coding challenges through HackerRank and also other challenges to test my problem-solving abilities. There were some problems on data structures and algorithms, and others on conceptualization. They were pretty hard.
