I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (New York, NY) in Jan 2020
Interview
There was one phone screen interview first from IBM Chief Analytics Office. It was around my resume and about me. Then, I was processed for the next round of interview. Next round was the coding interview. I was asked around 10 coding questions. The interviewer was quite friendly. Overall it was a quite good experience.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (New York, NY) in Oct 2019
Interview
The IBM recruiters were very nice but the experience felt extremely rushed.
I was placed into a 'second wave' of interviews because I suspect my pre-qualifying information was not passed along in the first wave and ultimately disqualified me.
The technical, in-person interviews were fine but it was just very poor communication/management with the recruiters via email.
My recruiter forgot essential details about me even though I mentioned it multiple times.
I was asked where I live about 3 times. I was asked if I need to fly about 3 times.
A recruiting email was accidentally sent to all the candidates.
