I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IBM in Sep 2025
Interview
Applied and next day received a hacker rank.
SQL easy,
BUT LEETCODE MEDIUM
Required depth first search of an acyclic directed graph, and minimize the required changes so that a condition could be met.
SQL took me like 8 min but the LEETCODE one I couldn't get right. Code complied and all but didn't pass the test cases and timed out for some.
Hadn't seen or practiced a tree traversal question in years much less one that combined trees with minimization problems
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Similar to LEETCODE 1135 but harder.
Had two dozen test cases this question
J'ai passé deux entretiens:
- un RH: questions classiques (qualités / défauts, travail en équipe...)
- un technique avec un senior Data Scientist: questions sur mes expériences passées et présentation de l'équipe que je rejoindrais
Le processus a duré environ 2 semaines

Question 1
Question sur mon parcours et mes expériences passées
Had a screening with a recruiter I met from a virtual job fair. Then, I had a combined behavioral and technical interview with my future manager. I got an offer soon after. The process was very fast.
