J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez IBM (Katowice) en mai 2015
Entretien
I applied online. Spontaneously. 5 weeks passed and they called to arrange a first, around 15 minute long phone screening. The lady that called, was very polite and asked random, not very detailed questions about my previous experience (for ex. "what do you thing is the most important factor of running an IT project?"), checked my English and that's basically it. During that phone interview she said that she will recommend me for the face to face interview. After 2 weeks I was invited for the 1:1 interview. Unfortunately, this part of the recruitment process wasn't as pleasant as the first one. The interview itself was performed in a very unprofessional manner. With two Junior Project Managers. Both unprepared. One of them was dressed, as she was going to the beach. The only thing she missed, were the sunglasses. Promised to give feedback up to 2 weeks. It's been 3 months now, not a word.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Imagine you're a PM. What would you do if for ex. the next day you have a deadline for something, and in order to meet it, you need to get some info from a Senior PM, who is extremely busy and doesn't want to help.

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.

J'ai postulé en personne. Le processus a pris 1 semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez IBM (München, Bavaria) en avr. 2026
Entretien
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.
