I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Bangalore Rural) in Jan 2020
Interview
First technical round and manger round and Salary discussion technical ask qution like what is devops why we have to practice devops methods, agile methodologies sflc process ci/cd kubermetes docker container
The interview process was very dull, unenthusiastic, and impersonal. They asked very technical systems engineering questions, mostly focused on infrastructure, DevOps fundamentals, troubleshooting, and general backend/system design concepts. The interviewers did not seem particularly engaged, and the conversation felt more like a checklist than a real discussion about the role, team, or candidate fit.
There was not much effort to explain the day-to-day responsibilities, team culture, or growth opportunities. Overall, the process felt rigid and transactional. The technical questions were fair, but the experience itself was not very welcoming or energizing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked how I would troubleshoot a Linux server or production system that was experiencing high CPU usage, including what commands I would use and how I would narrow down the root cause.
Nice interviewers, they ask system design questions. Work habits, gitlab, community, best traits, pros and cons.
Furthermore, they were very kind to me during the interview process. I really appreciate it.
