Received an email to complete an online assessment on HackerRank for a job application. The questions were similar to LeetCode, focusing on data structures, DSA, and arrays. Unfortunately, I didn't pass.
I had an online technical interview followed by an in-person personal/technical interview. The hiring manager was very clear about the process and his expectations of the roles as an intern.

Question 1
Two "leetcode style" questions, one algorithms based, one database.
I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IBM in Nov 2025
Interview
The interview was easy; they discussed points from my resume. I had written cloud computing in my resume so they based off almost all of the interview on it, especially the debugging part.
