This was the first virtual interview I had, and the interviewer didn't ask me any questions instead he asked me to give an impromptu presentation on a project that I worked on. For the first interview it would have been nice to get a heads-up to create a presentation or be prepared to start coding a project in front of someone.

Open a text editor and start going through and coding a project you worked on.
I applied online. I interviewed at IBM (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2020
Interview
This was for the Entry Level Cognitive Developer.
Took their weird logic assessment which honestly felt more insulting than anything; at the ends of various "games" it would speed up / become unrealistic to get many right answers. Got an online technical assessment on web development concepts that weren't mentioned in the job description. Rejected from both this job and a completely unrelated job (firmware programming i think, which I am much more knowledgeable in) I assume based off of this second assessment.

Question 1
Technical assessments were (I assume) dependent on roles. The logic test can be seen via a simple google search
The first round was a behavioral interview where they asked about my background, my hobbies, and my early career plans. They asked about a project listed in one of my work experiences, but the project was related to the work of the role.
45 min virtual 1:1 interview with a senior engineer manager. In my case, I only had 1 round of interview. Some might have more than one interview, usually around 2 rounds of interviews.
