      Devops Engineer Interview

      Aug 12, 2025
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Bengaluru
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at IBM (Bengaluru)

      Interview

      The interview process was very slow; by the time they reached out, I’d already received an offer from another company.” “Worst interview experience—so slow that I got an offer elsewhere before hearing back.” “Extremely delayed process; by the time the call/offer letter arrived, I had moved on.” “The hiring timeline dragged, and I received another company’s offer first.” “Longer-than-expected process; I’d already accepted another offer when they contacted me.

      Devops Engineer Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at IBM

      Interview

      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.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      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.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at IBM

      Interview

      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.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How does terraform works? How does GitLab work? Show me a system design architecture for a gaming website so that the latency is low and efficient.
