Positive experience

Average interview

Application

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IBM in Jan 2017

Interview

Sent a 3-4 hour coding test which you can do from home alone, if successful will schedule a technical "in person" interview online. This is where you will be asked classic algorithm/ data structure questions. If successful then you will do a 1 hour behavioural interview which is more of a conversation just to get to know you and your goals

Interview questions [1]

Question 1

is a string a palindrome? Given a unsorted array of numbers 1-100 find the missing number, what is the run time of your algorithm? A brain teaser

Interview

Questioned by a panel of software engineers. Each interviewer asked a couple of question however, because I was on speaker I couldn't hear some of the technical questions I answered the questions incorrectly. It was not a great experience.
