I applied online. I interviewed at IBM (Bukarest, ) in Jan 2026
Interview
I only completed the initial coding assignment, which consisted of two fundamental Java problems, and did not advance. Frankly, I suspect the job posting was merely performative and that the intern positions had already been filled prior to my evaluation
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Implement an algorithm in Java to determine whether a given string is a palindrome, accounting for edge cases such as null inputs or mixed capitalization.
Very nice interviewer, super polite and on time and asked very good questions. The technical section wasn't really technical it was just asking a couple questions on terminology. Was super conversational and overall had a great experience.
I think they send out an interview to practically everyone who applies, but it's just online with no interviewer, you record yourself speaking. 2 sections, 2 behavioral and 2 technical questions
