I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at IBM (Hursley, England) in Feb 2016
Interview
I applied for the Extreme Blue Summer Internship- Business track. The process was quite lengthy and they invited me to an assessment centre in the last moment. I had to reschedule. The assessment centre was a full-day one in Hursley- three group activities/presentation and three individual interviews= behavioural. The hardest part of the whole process is their IPAT test, which 80% of the applicants cannot pass.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you have shown good leadership skills?
The interview process can vary by company and role, but most follow a fairly standard sequence. Here’s what you can generally expect:
You submit your application (resume, cover letter, portfolio if relevant). A recruiter or hiring manager reviews it to see if your background matches the role.
It’s very easy, was a quick call, and they asked about behavioral questions and skills. Told me that if they liked my profile they would call me in the next days.
The interview process was a positive experience overall—well organized, professional, and welcoming. Communication was clear throughout, and the interviewers created an open, respectful environment that made it easy to have a genuine conversation.
