      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at IBM (El Cairo, )

      Interview

      1. Resume Screening: Recruiters review your resume to ensure you meet the basic qualifications for the role. 2. Phone Screen: A brief call with a recruiter or hiring manager to discuss your background, experience, and interest in the role. 3. Technical Assessment: This could include a take-home assignment or an online coding test to evaluate your programming skills, data manipulation abilities, and understanding of data structures and algorithms. 4. Technical Interviews: One or more rounds of technical interviews where you’ll be asked to solve coding problems, SQL queries, and design data pipelines. Expect questions on database systems, distributed computing, ETL processes, and data modeling. 5. Behavioral Interviews: Assess your communication skills, problem-solving approach, and teamwork abilities. You may be asked about past projects, how you handle challenges, and your experience working in a team. 6. On-site Interviews (or Virtual Equivalent): If applicable, you’ll visit the company’s office for in-person interviews with various team members. These may include technical whiteboarding sessions, system design discussions, and cultural fit conversations. 7. Final Interview: A concluding discussion with senior leadership or HR to discuss compensation, benefits, and any remaining questions or concerns.

      Data Engineer Interview

      Apr 1, 2026
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at IBM

      Interview

      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.
