I applied online. I interviewed at IBM in Feb 2018
Interview
2 skype talks: one with 2 members of the group and a one with the hiring manager. Questions were mainly about what I do, my background and a few basic programming questions and questions on the platforms I am using. Then an onsite interview that included several one-to-one meetings and a talk/presentation about my work. The one to one meetings included programming questions (related to data structures, uml diagrams), what methods would you use to solve an X problem?, HR questions, questions about research topics that I had worked in the past
A call with team members to discuss past work and how I can contribute to the team. It mainly revolved around the past projects and work at other companies and how it is aligned to the goals of the team. Prior research on team's work and what they are looking for helped.
