      Software Support Engineer Interview

      Atlanta, GA

      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Atlanta, GA)

      Interview

      Almost entirely online - had an online questionnaire which was recorded, then a video call, then a "fit" interview to determine where would be the best location. Finally, a "finish line" event where they try to sell you on working for the company

      Software Support Engineer Interview

      Jan 23, 2019
      Anonymous employee
      Dublin, Dublin
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Dublin, Dublin) in Dec 2016

      Interview

      When I arrived I checked out at the reception and few mins later was picked up by the interviewer. We did the usual circle around the building and then went to a small room for panel interview. There were 2 senior engineers. Asked about CV and experience. There were some technical questions like what does SQL stand or how would you solve an issue with internet connectivity step by step. In general really nice atmosphere with sense of humour.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What some abbreviations stand for. Do you have experience with Linux, if so how would you check current directory you are in and some other simple commands.
