I applied through university. I interviewed at IBM (Bangalore Rural) in Sept 2025
Interview
The interview was nice and very doable. It focused mainly on core logic and fundamental concepts, with a difficulty level comparable to standard university examinations rather than advanced industry-level questions.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at IBM (Armonk, NY)
Interview
Was very professional but was based off how much research I did and prepared before that set me up to do well. Some of the questions that were asked were easy to answer if you put just a little amount of research and preparation done before hand.
