I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at IBM in Aug 2024
Interview
It is a first one for me. An automated, pre-recorded video assessment. After applying online, I was sent an email that they would like me to do a Video Assessment where I will be asked behavioral questions. I was asked only 2 questions and, if you are ready, it can take you up to 10 minutes to complete.
The question is read to you by a recorded person. You are given 1 minute to think about the answer and 3 minutes to give the answer.
The questions themselves are not too difficult if you have a prepared answer. If you don't then you are screwed because the clock is ticking and the pressure of coming up with an answer is building.
I did not do well on the second question so expectations were low.
I did not like the experience, the pressure of talking to yourself without another person present is off-putting.
I have not heard back about my application which I found a bit rude. They can automate an interview but cannot automate a reply to tell you you've not been selected.
Minimal communication and unclear expectations before the interview. The interview was a mix of behavioral, UX specific, and portfolio review questions. Not much time for the interviewee to ask questions themselves.
The first round was a video assessment I received a day after applying to the job. I got 1 minute to prepare my answer and 3 minutes to respond. In total, I answered 4 different behavioral questions.
Intro / Asssessment / HR / Team Interview that's how it all starts and wraps up to final rounds. it was pretty easy for the intital rounds. However, they dive deeper into the projects and ask more about the context and the design decisoins, they critque and see how you performed during those tasks
