I applied online. I interviewed at IBM (London, England)
Interview
A full day of an assessment centre, starting with company background and some projects.
We were split into teams and had one logical task, reviewing how you work with others to solve an issue.
Then a separate task where you were asked to do a proposal for a new app - think of that what's and why's.
Then a final one on one interview.
A really interesting day!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you willing to travel and stay away from home? A lot of the job involves working away at client sites a few days every week
During the assessment centre there are two group exercises and one individual interview.
I personally found the first group exercise not really good and not stimulating.
The one-to-one interview was also not a very positive experience. The only question that the interviewer asked about my application form (full of achievements and professional information) was a personal very generic question. This left me quite disappointed as I thought an IBM interviewer would be more interested in investigating and learning more about my past experiences rather than JUST ask me where I was from. The rest of questions were just standard competency and commercial questions. It was mainly a question-answer type of interview, without a real discussion.
The HR staff and the recent graduates were however really nice and welcoming.
