      Software Developer Interview

      Jan 7, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Positive experience

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (New York, NY) in Dec 2017

      Interview

      I applied through UNCUBED and 3 weeks later I got an invitation to take part in the first interview where I got to record myself answering 3 technical questions followed by 3 coding questions (45 minutes each) followed by a question where I needed to explain what was I doing in the 3rd coding question and finally what my thought was after taking the interview. The second interview is a GURU interview where I was facing an actual online interviewer over the HIREVUE platform where this 1-hr interview consisted of three parts (technically four); he started with explaining what it is that he does in IBM then asked me about myself. Next, he went over some computer histories and asked me some questions based on Operating System, then a coding (very easy) question, and finally he went over some of my projects. (I STILL AM WAITING FOR A REPLY BACK FROM IBM thus saying I didn't get the offer)

      Interview questions [7]

      Question 1

      Why IBM?
      Answer question

      Question 2

      What makes you a good fit for IBM?
      Answer question

      Question 3

      What was one of the moments where you had to lead your team and in a project and you had a very good impact on the final outcome of that project?
      Answer question

      Question 4

      First of 3 Coding Questions in the first interview: Fixed Array N[i], Integers P and Q. If N[i] is divisible by P then print "OUT", and if N[i] is divisible by Q then print "THINK"; if N[i] is divisible by both P and Q then concatenate OUT and THINK (hence, OUTTHINK), and if N[i] isn't divisible by any of P and Q then print the number in that index.
      Answer question

      Question 5

      Second of the 3 coding question in the first interview: Names of medication are given in a string and are comma delimited. A second string is given with fewer (may contain names from the first string or may not contain any names in the first string at all). Compare both strings and print out the common names in both strings.
      Answer question

      Question 6

      Last of the three coding questions in the first interview: It was an inventory based question. Apple Sold in the farm 214 out of 250 on April 1 179 out of 250 on April 2 230 out of 250 on April 3 Orange Sold in the farm 0 out of 200 on April 1 180 out of 250 on April 2 200 out of 250 on April 3 Mango Sold in the farm 100 out of 100 on April 1 0 out of 200 on April 2 50 out of 250 on April 3 Output all the sold merchandise in a datewise inventory. (E.g. On April 1, Apple, Orange, and Grapes were sold in x,y, and z amount)
