I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at IBM (Coimbatore) in Nov 2024
Interview
An Associate Software Engineer should possess a strong foundation in programming languages such as Java, Python, or C++. They should understand software development methodologies like Agile and Scrum. Important skills also include problem-solving, critical thinking, and the ability to work effectively in a team. Knowledge of databases, version control systems like Git, and basic knowledge of software testing are also beneficial.

Question 1
Sorting Algorithms, Basic questions on resume, oops concept
I did the interview at the IBM company. It was a very simple one-to-one interview. The interviewer asked about basics questions on my projects and programmes. She also helped me understand on where I went wrong and areas to improve.
A recruiter reached out to me about scheduling some time to speak. They just scheduled a time without even confirming my availability first. Thought it would be an initial phone screen, but was a technical interview with someone different than I was emailing. The lack of communication and information was disappointing
I first received an online language test. Then got invited for an offline coding round. It was a fairly average-level question with 7-8 test cases on the HackerRank platform. People who passed even 3-4 test cases got selected for the next round.
