IBMProduct Manager · Intern“There were some questions that went better than others, more specifically when I saw a question I wasn't prepped for I tended to ramble.”
IBMProduct Manager · L3“This was just an initial pre-recorded video screen after submitting the application. At this time I do not have additional information to provide.”
IBMSoftware Developer Engineer Intern · Intern“The process was really easy just leetcode mediums then a behavioral. I solved the two problems, and then two weeks later got an interview. A week after the interview you should get the offer. ”
IBMCustomer Success Manager · Intern“The interview process was straightforward and well organized. The conversation leaned heavily toward behavioral and product-focused questions rather than deep technical ones, which made it feel approachable. I was asked to walk through past experiences, explain how I handled challenges and worked with others, and talk through how I would think about a product problem. What went well was that I came in with specific stories ready, so I could give structured, concrete answers instead of vague ones. The conversational format also made it easy to build rapport and ask follow-up questions of my own. If anything didn't go perfectly, it was that a few product-thinking questions required me to organize my thoughts on the spot. In a couple of moments I wish I had paused longer to structure my answer before speaking, and next time I would be more deliberate about that.”

IBMMachine Learning Engineer · Intern“Seemed a little disorganized. Questions off the top of the interviewers' heads. No structure given to the interviewee ahead of time. Everyone was very nice”
IBMProduct Consultant Intern · Intern“Process was straightforward, online screen then behavioural with product sense. They asked a lot about my experiences/projects that relate to PM. Then a simple product sense question where I picked a product and explained what I would add.”
IBMFinance and Strategy“It is important to not get flustered during the case if you feel like you do not know something. Stay calm and collected. Take time to think before speaking. One of my interviewers was really nice and friendly. The other interviewer was not a friendly.”

AnthropicSoftware Engineer, Safeguards · L5“The weirdest Anthropic round was the company values interview. It was almost like a therapy session, and honestly if you went to a therapist at some point, you will pass that round much more easily.”
NetflixEngineering Manager, Tooling“What was very unusual is they didn’t give me any tooling to draw the system design, so I just sketched it on a piece of paper and talked them through it, then we got into this oddly deep debate about whether hover-over history should count as a recommendation signal.”
