I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at IBM in Nov 2011
Interview
It was an interview 1:1, there were two managers and my future colleagues. They asked classic questions but also some interesting ones (e.g. tell us a joke). It took some 60 minutes and I was really tired afterwards. They were nice, it was obvious they liked their jobs.
The interview process can vary by company and role, but most follow a fairly standard sequence. Here’s what you can generally expect:
You submit your application (resume, cover letter, portfolio if relevant). A recruiter or hiring manager reviews it to see if your background matches the role.
It’s very easy, was a quick call, and they asked about behavioral questions and skills. Told me that if they liked my profile they would call me in the next days.
Smooth process with HR phone screen followed by technical interview. Questions focused on previous projects, problem-solving, and role knowledge. Interviewers were friendly and explained each step clearly, process is good overall
