      Anonymous employee
      Leicester, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Leicester, England)

      Interview

      Simple CV and cover letter submission. Nice! A phone call covering basic stuff including what I know about CIC. An assessment centre which was half day which had one interview about general competencies, a group task which my group were complete flops at, and a presentation of IBM CIC. Then a technical interview which covered aspects of the SDLC including testing etc. A very enjoyable tech interview as was stuff I covered in uni. Ipat test which is 'what comes next' which I don't like, and general arithmetic questions which I think I did well at.
