I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at IBM (Bengaluru)
Interview
IBM started with an online aptitude test. Questions were very much confusing, and i dint see the point of those.
After that interview process was very smooth. Though they dint gave choice for location. They just choose randomly people on based of written for various locations.
They did gave many offer letters but the package was not up to what other companies offers for same position. Even the don't have much perks as other IT companies of same league

Applied through the company portal, completed an online coding assessment, followed by a technical interview covering data structures, algorithms, OOP concepts, and project experience. Concluded with an HR discussion about the role, career goals, availability, and compensation expectations.
## IBM Interview Process
The process began with initial resume shortlisting, followed by competitive **DSA and coding rounds** to test core technical concepts. After clearing those, I cleared two comprehensive interviews with the **Hiring Manager/Tech Expert** and **HR**.
Describe the interview process: The process consisted of three rounds: an initial online assessment focusing on data structures and algorithms, followed by two technical video interviews. The technical rounds were intensive, covering system design, live coding, and deep-dive questions into previous project experience and database optimization.
