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.

Question 1
Open a text editor and start going through and coding a project you worked on.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at IBM (Boston, MA) in Feb 2019
Interview
Took an online coding exam, which was surprisingly easy. Then spent two days in Boston, MA going through various interviews and classes. The interviews were very casual - it sounded like they wanted to get to know you as an emerging professional. Later I was led to believe I had an offer after the interview, and the Hiring partner even told me the salary of the position I was to hold. That offer was then rescinded two days later, and I was delivered definite no through email 5 weeks later. Even though I was impressed by the interview process, the audacity to give a prospective recruit false information struck me with quite negatively.

Question 1
What is one technical solution you have to a big problem?
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.
