J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. Le processus a pris 1 semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez IBM (Ahmedabad)
Entretien
I took part in IBM's on-campus recruitment for a Software Developer role and solved both coding questions within 15 minutes. Despite completing the round quickly and correctly, I was not selected, while others who took 40 minutes or more were shortlisted.
It feels completely unfair, and IBM should not conduct their process this way. If speed and accuracy in solving the problems don't matter, then what's the point of the coding round? There was no transparency or explanation for why people who performed slower were chosen over those who completed the tasks faster.
IBM really needs to make their selection criteria clear to avoid this kind of unfair treatment. It’s frustrating for candidates who perform well but get overlooked without any explanation.

## IBM Interview Process
The process began with initial resume shortlisting, followed by competitive **DSA and coding rounds** to test core technical concepts. After clearing those, I cleared two comprehensive interviews with the **Hiring Manager/Tech Expert** and **HR**.
Describe the interview process: The process consisted of three rounds: an initial online assessment focusing on data structures and algorithms, followed by two technical video interviews. The technical rounds were intensive, covering system design, live coding, and deep-dive questions into previous project experience and database optimization.
