Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Architecture of the projects worked upon and more specifics to deployment of those and roll back functionalities in case of misbehave
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.

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.

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
