I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at IBM (Washington, DC)
Interview
Knew hiring manager from previous firm. Offered position prior to speaking with corporate recruiter, who actually was more of hindrance than an asset for the process. I was an experienced hire and was hired some time ago so my experiences are likely not the norm. IBM is currently focused on hiring resources directly out of college with little if any real work experience. Also, hiring outside of traditional STEM disciplines. I've recently seen a recent graduate in "graphics" get a job in Global Business Services - don't know what the think was there...
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (New York, NY) in Sep 2012
Interview
Phone interview with recruiters first and second round. Final round was a group style interview with a case study. All interviewees were put into small teams and given a case study to review and prepare a presentation with recommendations to "management." Presentation was also given by the small interviewee team. Then after the presentation, one-to-one interviews with those being presented to were conducted.
