Full Experience
I had the opportunity to participate in an on-campus recruitment drive conducted by IBM for the ASE (Associate Software Engineer) position. The process was comprehensive, consisting of six distinct rounds.
The First Round was an online HackerRank test. I was given 45 minutes to solve one medium-level coding question. This particular problem was quite similar to LeetCode 187 - Repeated DNA Sequences.
Next, I proceeded to the Second Round, an SHL test. This round was communication-based and divided into four sections, assessing various aspects of my communication skills.
The Third Round was an offline test, held directly on our college campus. Here, I had 30 minutes to solve one easy-level question. It was primarily math-based and could be tackled using straightforward mathematical logic.
Following that was the Fourth Round, a Group Discussion. We discussed a current affairs topic, which was an interesting way to assess our collaborative and argumentative skills.
The Fifth Round was the Technical Interview. This interview focused heavily on questions derived from my resume. Additionally, I was presented with a data structure problem that was similar in nature to LeetCode 540 - Single Element in a Sorted Array.
Finally, the Sixth Round was the HR Interview, where I answered managerial and behavioral questions, concluding the entire recruitment process.
