Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto un giorno. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso IBM nel mese di nov 2022
Colloquio
Online technical interview: asked about Kubernetes and Terraform. However, I felt very disengaged as the both interviewers (hiring for Singapore position) did not even bothered to turn on their camera for the interview

What is the container-equivalent in Kubernetes ? - Answer was pod but technically a Kubernetes pod can have actually one or more container(?) If another teammate changes an infrastructure configuration (that was previously provisioned by Terraform) outside the Terraform workflow (through command line) , how do you manage the desync ?
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.

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.

Very wierd experience interviewing with IBM for 4 Yrars DevOps Engineer position. 1st round was with a newbie who didn't knew anything asking questions from google and checking answer on google had to correct hom few times. Second round with someone senior who was technically decent went good and last round was with PM which went good post that ghosted me.
