The process took 1 day. I interviewed at IBM in Jan 2009

Interview

It was very nice and comfortable. 10 of us were all seated in a row facing 3 judges. We were all asked to describe ourselves, our strengths and weaknesses, our motivation for the position. The company culture was very nice but I turned down the offer because there were sales quota to be met.

Easy interview

Application

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (San Jose, CA) in Apr 2007

Interview

I used monster.com to get started since I found a posting that seemed a good match for my most recent experience. I was eventually contacted by phone and I was told I was on a short list with very few people ahead of me. If those people declined the job, then I would be made an offer.
