I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at IBM (San Jose, CA) in Aug 2025
Interview
2 easy leetcode OA (one was one heaps and the other used arrays) -> hireview (only get one attempt to answer each question, about 5 questions) -> I would assume interviews after but I did not get past hireview.

Question 1
What is one unexpected challenge you ran into while working and how did you tackle it?
Two virtual interview questions, trivial questions that are usually asked among common interviews. No technical questions were asked. Gives you one minute to prepare after the question is being asked. If you succeed with the virtual interview, you will be given a HR interview.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at IBM (Hong Kong)
Interview
3 rounds of interview, not very technical. Each round of interview was with a different level of management, more or less the same questions, with the first being more technical. The first round asked some simple RAG and LLM questions.
