IBM Software Developer Engineer interview questions

The test is of group basis. A group of candidates are required to finish a set of questions printed on the paper. The paper covers 3 aspects: Technical, English and Ap. Test. For the technical part, candidate can choose either answer in C++ or Java. I chose Java an the questions mainly focus on OO concepts like what is polymorphism...etc. The English part asked some simple English questions while the Ap. Test is a very demanding one. It requires candidates to finish 30 logical questions within 5 mins.

This year (2010) IBM India planned to hire about 10,000 new recruits (freshers + experienced personnels), so it was relatively easier (I strongly stress "relatively") to get counted in. We first had a 1-hr aptitude written test, followed by a group discussion of 15 mins. After that we had 1:1 personal technical interview. The final interview was the HR round. What bothers me is that the package they offered is below my expectation for such a strongly reputed company. The drift to more service-based work is another scare.
