I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Lille) in Mar 2017

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Parlez-moi de vous
Quel est votre parcours précédents
Pourquoi notre entreprise
Pourquoi ce poste
Quel est ton plan de carrière et l'objectif dans 5 ans ?
It is more focused on soft skills and knowing how to communicate business value in addition to product differentiators to different stakeholder personas. They ask you to prepare a presentation based on a case and do role-play to test how you'd react with a client. There are two rounds with peers and management.

Question 1
How would you answer this question: why should I go for this product with so many open source and enterprise options?
The interview process was relatively quick. Not extremely technical but as a candidate they like people who can explain technical things in a rather simple manner. It seems that they also like to value soft skills a lot.

Question 1
Explain the different types of cloud implementations.
Very relaxed process. Had a prerecorded interview, and 2 following interviews with people in the role. Questions regarding why that role and other behavioral questions. Were looking for your motivations to sell rather than actual experience.
