I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Johannesburg) in Jan 2021
Interview
nitial Screening (Phone/Video - 30 mins): HR asked about my background in programming (focus on Java and Python), why IBM, and basic behavioral questions like "Tell me about a challenging project." No technical coding yet.
Technical Round 1 (Virtual - 45 mins): Coding challenge on a platform like HackerRank – solved problems on data structures (e.g., implementing a binary search tree) and algorithms (sorting arrays efficiently). They emphasized problem-solving approach over perfect code.
Technical Round 2 (Virtual - 1 hour): Deeper dive into system design; I had to outline a scalable microservices architecture for a cloud-based app. Also discussed experience with tools like Docker and Kubernetes.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
questions on teamwork, handling deadlines, and a case study on troubleshooting a production issue. They asked for examples from past roles.
Fair. Not so difficult, everyday questions. The people were friendly. I think it would be a good place to work. I can't compare it with other interviews since this is the first one I got
