Welcome! Firstly, thanks in advance for giving us your time. We know you are busy. We appreciate this opportunity to speak with you.
Big Blue job interviews start with a short, freeform discussion. You relax, we relax. Then we move to focused discussion areas.
Below is guidance to help you prepare:
- The interview will be 30-40 minutes
- We offer the options of a video or an in-person interview
- If the interview is on video: Be in a quiet, well-lit area with a reliable Internet connection
- Be ready to tell us about your interest in the role and culture at Big Blue
- Be ready to talk us through the main points in your CV
- Be ready to share projects, portfolios, and other materials on your screen if needed
- Prepare 2 case studies of your work
- Feel free to ask questions
Our team shares interview discussion areas with job candidates before interviews. We do this so you have time to prepare a core set of ideas to discuss.
We may also share additional questions with you over email before the interview.
Below is a list of potential discussion areas. This is adaptable and not exhaustive.
- Tell us about some of your life missions
- Read this blog post before the interview: 33 points to know about Big Blue’s culture. What do you think? Do any points particularly resonate with you? If so, which ones?
- Tell us about a favorite project, what you did, and the feedback that you received
- Tell us about a big idea that you developed and implemented at a previous place of work or study
- Tell us what you could do with us in your first 30 days and 90 days
- We are very interested in working with individuals who can think in terms of systems. Tell us about systems that you have created and can create
- We hope that everyone on our team can be a leader in their own unique ways. What leadership can you bring to our team?
Once again, thank you for your time. We really appreciate it.
