I applied through university. I interviewed at IBM
Interview
I applied through my University's career website. Received an email 3 days before the interview saying that I have been selected for the interview.
I interviewed on campus. It consists of 3 back-to-back interview that lasts for 30 minutes each. One of the interview was based on your resume, talking about your experiences. Second interview was a case interview. The last interview was a more behavioral type of interview (i.e. Tell me about an experience when you ...). There is no fixed sequence, you might have the case interview first.
The interviewers were very nice and very enthusiastic. The wanted you to feel relaxed and the interviews were very conversational. Case interview was challenging as it doesn't have any quantitative aspect to it but more of a qualitative case.
I was told that I will hear back within 2 weeks and I was.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at IBM (São Paulo, São Paulo) in Oct 2025
Interview
A entrevista foi dividida em duas etapas e foi tranquila. Porém, na primeira entrevista, a vaga tinha um escopo. Na segunda etapa, a vaga ganhava um escopo totalmente diferente. Com a quebra de expectativa, não senti segurança em continuar o processo seletivo e declinei a continuação.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Foram perguntas técnicas sobre a minha atuação profissional e foram fáceis de responder. Propuseram um teste, mas optei por não realizá-lo, pois desisti de continuar o processo seletivo.
first round: english written test (gre level)
second round: meet with manager of the project, asked about cv and some behavioral question.
third round: meet with manager and partner, self-introduction, talk about a related project i have done before, some behavirol question, doing a presentation
difficult they asked very technical questions and some behavioral. Some if them had nothing to do with the role so it caught me off guard a bit and it was tedious
