I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Halifax, NS) in Jul 2021
Interview
I applied online and got an initial screening HR call a week after that. Then 2 days post the screening call, received the call to schedule a panel interview.
About the interview: Really conversational and friendly inn nature. Followed the usual approach of behavioral and situational questions and a tad bit technical to gauge the application of concepts.
The entire process took around 2 weeks owing to the extended weekend.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Situational/Behavioral Questions
2. How did you use the PMP in your professional work ex
3. How do you handle and manage transformation projects
4. How do handle difficult clients
Got a link to a platform where you were asked to answer a series of questions. The answers had to be recorded, every answer was supposed to be answered in less than 3 minutes. Beforehand, the advice was given to prepare using the STAR framework.
Important: once started, you can only interrupt the process once, since they don't want you to have unlimited preparation time for the answers. If it gets interrupted (e.g. due to network connectivity or by closing the tab) a second time, the process is stopped and your interview is basically aborted.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Tell us about a time you disagreed with a coworker and how you resolved the disagreement.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at IBM (München, Bavaria) in Apr 2026
Interview
Zuerst tauschen wir uns über die gegenseitigen Erwartungen aus. Danach besprechen wir konkrete Situationen aus meiner bisherigen Arbeit im Banking-Sektor, zum Beispiel wie ich Herausforderungen gelöst habe. Mir ist ein ehrlicher Austausch wichtig, damit beide Seiten sehen, ob die Zusammenarbeit passt.
Got sent an invite to interview a couple days after I applied online. They move through the process quite quickly and they'll send you emails for additional forms to fill out if you move through the process.
