I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at IBM (Madison, WI) in Sep 2023
Interview
I failed at the first round of programming tests. There are two questions and had to be completed within an hour. It's easy to make the code work, but hard to make the code pass all their tests in time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Here is one of the questions. Split a list into two lists, called a and b. There is no joint element between a and b, and each list should contain different elements. The sum of a's elements should be bigger than the sum of b's elements. The sum of a's elements should be as big as possible while the number of a's elements should be as few as possible.
