I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at IBM (Dublin, OH) in Aug 2015
Interview
In-person Interview came following three months of phone discussions and interviews with HR. Discussions with HR entailed answering generic questions on location preference, availability dates, salary expectations, etc... In person interview consisted of three 1-on-1 discussions with IBM employees. Each IBM employee was from a different discipline (ie. Sales vs Consulting vs Project Management). The questions were not "textbook" rated if you will, rather, the interviews were more of a "back-n-forth" discussion on how I would handle a given business scenario that could/would come about as an employee at IBM.

A screen (recorded) interview and then 2 video interviews. First was based on resume. Kind of a basic understanding of the background. Second was more in depth. Asked about projects, experience, along with some questions based on that
