Process
The first interview is a webcam recording. You can take a preparation video before you proceed.
Then, there are 5-ish questions. A video asks a question, and it appears on screen. You'll be given 2-3 minutes to prepare and X amount of minutes (maybe 5 minutes) to answer. You can finish sooner by pressing 'Done'.
Next, there are 3 coding tests. Each test has 2 questions, meaning you have to write a total of 6 programs. You get 3 minutes for each test, totaling 1 hour and a half. You can finish sooner if you like.
After that, they ask 3 more questions with the webcam again. This was a surprise because I took my tie off during the coding, and the lighting from the sun changed in my room, making it all dark. I was running around trying to get everything nice again.
Questions
They said in the email that there is no need to prepare because the interview is general.

IBM Work Experiences
- 2.0Sales Company, Broken ToolsDevops • Current EmployeeGuadalajara, Jalisco, MexicoAugust 11, 2025Pros: Employed. You're not unemployed; you have a job.Cons: It is not what it used to be. Upper management is a mess. The company has turned into a big speculation business, not an IT company but a sales company. You might think you'll get to work with new shiny tools based on the companies IBM has been buying in the last couple of years, but nope. Your work is to promote IBM's own tools with your work, except you need to go through processes to make them available to your team, and they don't work, lol. (Yeah, I'm talking about Watson Orchestrate). On another side, I've been waiting on a promotion for the last year and a half and basically will never receive one. The layoffs have been a tradition for the last couple of years. Yet, they're changing the dynamic next year to make it look like low-performance layoffs, possibly impacting your severance package. Basically, run while you can. You'll still see people that have been around for 7+ years. Yeah, they had it way better than if you joined 3 years ago from now. Don't even bother coming in here.
