I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Cairo, Cairo Governorate) in Jan 2025
Interview
There was a medium difficulty assessment, then an interview was scheduled after 2 weeks, and i got rejected from first round, the interview was focused on sql, data modeling, spark, linux, python and pipeline design
IBM scheduled an interview without asking for my availability, forcing me to miss class in order to attend as I was completely unable to reschedule it. I was also sent no email in the days following the interview to update me on the status of my application. I had to look at the website to see that I was no longer under consideration. Just an overall awful process.
I applied online. I interviewed at IBM (Giza) in Apr 2026
Interview
First, the interviewer explained the interview steps. Then, he asked me to introduce myself and talk about what I’m currently doing in my job. After that, he asked me some technical questions and situational questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
what's the difference between warehouse and data lake?
I got an online assessment and passed all cases but still got rejected. I felt my background fits but no idea why. Maybe they screens me out after OA anyways
