Candidatei-me online. Fui entrevistado pela IBM (Dublin, Dublin) em set. de 2025
Entrevista
The IBM online assessment consisted of several coding challenges and situational judgment questions. The coding section required solving algorithmic problems within a set time limit. For example, I encountered a problem where I had to calculate the total number of user sessions based on given timestamps and a session timeout threshold. The instructions were clear, and the interface allowed writing and testing code directly. The difficulty level was reasonable, but time management was essential. Overall, the process tested both problem-solving skills and logical reasoning ability.

Q: Given arrays of timestamps for user events and corresponding user IDs, find the total number of sessions across all users. A session is defined as a contiguous sequence of events such that no two consecutive events for that user are separated by more than timeout seconds. Implement the function getSessionCount.

## IBM Interview Process
The process began with initial resume shortlisting, followed by competitive **DSA and coding rounds** to test core technical concepts. After clearing those, I cleared two comprehensive interviews with the **Hiring Manager/Tech Expert** and **HR**.
Describe the interview process: The process consisted of three rounds: an initial online assessment focusing on data structures and algorithms, followed by two technical video interviews. The technical rounds were intensive, covering system design, live coding, and deep-dive questions into previous project experience and database optimization.
