Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso IBM (Johannesburg) nel mese di gen 2021
Colloquio
nitial Screening (Phone/Video - 30 mins): HR asked about my background in programming (focus on Java and Python), why IBM, and basic behavioral questions like "Tell me about a challenging project." No technical coding yet.
Technical Round 1 (Virtual - 45 mins): Coding challenge on a platform like HackerRank – solved problems on data structures (e.g., implementing a binary search tree) and algorithms (sorting arrays efficiently). They emphasized problem-solving approach over perfect code.
Technical Round 2 (Virtual - 1 hour): Deeper dive into system design; I had to outline a scalable microservices architecture for a cloud-based app. Also discussed experience with tools like Docker and Kubernetes.

## 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.
