I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at IBM (Bengaluru) in Sept 2020
Interview
The process was very smooth. 1 online test which is normal IQ test and 2 rounds (1 technical and 1 managerial) followed with HR round. I received my offer within a week.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
java 8, multithreading, executor framework, hash-map working, spring annotation related mainly on JPA. The managerial round includes the architectural view of the project u have worked on along with situational question like how to handle your boss or team mates etc.
I applied online. I interviewed at IBM in Nov 2025
Interview
Weird interview process, joined call and the interviewer sat there not responding to what I said then asked question, whilst he gave funny looks to answers I was giving, despite having another interview prior with similar questions that got me the job at that company.
He then pretended what I was saying was wrong when I challenged a false statement he made that was for another role entirely, he ended the interview and smiled all of a sudden after acting strange saying bye.

Question 1
Give me an example of how you would design a system and integrate it from one separate system into another?
Easy interview. Basic core java was asked along with hashmap iteration question.
In springboot also, very basics. Did not ask anything in multi threading.
2 questions based on Eda and kafka.
I applied online. I interviewed at IBM (New York, NY) in Jul 2025
Interview
It was very smooth, more of a panel interview and a manager specific interview. Want to see technical and culture fit. Technical is more of if you can perform the day to day technical duties and your work ethic
