IBM Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details My CV was provided to the company through a friend. I was then sent a job spec and I had a short phone interview with a partner. I believe the usual process is to go through two interviews - one with a manager and one with a partner.
I was then sent an offer of employment via HR.

Interview Details First round Assessment Day. I did not think it was a nice atmosphere. There were about 50 people, for various start times of the year. We got an introduction presentation from one lady that started a few years ago with the job, she did not seem to experienced. Then we were split in groups, some had to do written tests first, the others the groups exercise. The written tests were rather difficult, especially the verbal test. Best to practice GMAT or the McKinsey PST. The group exercise was terrible. Had to solve something in a small group of five. One person directly stood up and acted a bit like someone who wants to put themselfs upfront. Very unfriendly and nearly arrogant. Surprisingly this person as chosen afterwards. Got the impression group exercise and behavior there was the most important thing.

Interview Details Online CV Template > Online Tests > 2 part assessment day. Online tests are different to what I had experienced before, but I found them okay, examples are available online if you search for them. Most candidates are asked to go home half was through the assessment day but I was asked to stay on, make sure you give your all in the first 2 group exercises and confirmatory tests. Second part of the day was a 1 on 1 interview and a role play in pairs. I failed on the role play because I did not ask enough questions of the client and focused too much on what I thought was the right solution. so ask ask ask! and keep asking questions when in client situations.

Interview Details Standard online tests and then a recruitment day which was group assignments and an interview. everyone was very friendly but it was a very long process. I made it to matching but never got a job offer.

Interview Details CV and online test (IPAT) which is fairly challenging. Then you're invited to an assessment day. In the morning there is a presentation on IBM, a 45 minute group exercise (which is just a logic puzzle) and then a series of tests to confirm your IPAT marks. I didn't think these were as challenging as the first ones. Then you find out if you're going to be invited for an interview in the afternoon. Typical interview questions and very informal.

Interview Details Standard procedure. Applied online, then an online test followed, then 2 assessment centres. The atmosphere in both offices, London and Portsmouth, was relaxed and calm. The process was involving mostly group exercises although there were a couple of individual assignments. It was obvious that the process was a routine for them and that everybody from the staff knew what they were doing.

Interview Details Online IPAT Test (Very Hard), assessment centre (Multiple interviews, IPAT verification and group tasks) then a job offer. Different jobs on offer as an intern and you are offered a tailored job to suit your skill set. They use a process called 'matching' where you are put in a pool of other applicants and a hiring manager can pull you from the pool and offer you a job.

Interview Details Long Interview process including online application and tests, assessment day where 13 of 20 people got sent home at lunch. The final round business matching interview.

Interview Details Formal interview with role related questions however most roles I applied for were internal where you may well know the interviewer and wre a good fit for the role
