Interviewed May 2011 in Littleton, MA (took 2 weeks)
I received an email that said they wanted to set up an initial phone screening. The initial phone screening was normal HR questions (i.e. Why IBM? Where do you see yourself in five years?). Then about 2 days later I had a phone interview with several different teams asking questions like how to update an immutable string in JAVA. Basically they wanted to know how JAVA dealt with Strings. What was a closure and why is it useful in JavaScript? Then they did an IQ test online.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Boston, MA (took a day)
I had a back-to-back phone interview with two people. The first was a case interview and the second was a behavioral interview. Each interview took half an hour each.
Following the phone interview I was called in for a day long on-site interview at Boston. We had a group discuss with three other interviewees. This was followed by two one-on-one interviews with partners and principals. One was a case interview which was moderately difficult with very little number crunching. The second was a fit interview.
I did not get an offer.
Interview Questions
The problem related to a design process of a product prototype. The goal was to reduce the time and resources it took to design the prototype.
Other Details

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Boston, MA (took 2 days)
There were two phone interviews. The first was a screen of sorts where the recruiter asked me a basic set of background questions. I'm not even sure if the recruiter knew what I was saying but apparently he liked what I had to say because I had the next interview the following day again over the phone. The second interview was with the companies' CTO who would have been my manager. We discussed my background and my approaches to development and best practices. Then for a more detailed example he presented me with a specific problem that the company faced in their development and asked if I had a solution. I discussed a few possible solutions all of which, he later let me know were solutions they had already tried, but he was very up-beat about my having suggested solutions that might have been viable. After this I had to cut off the in person interview because my current job had me traveling internationally for an extended period and the company I was interviewing with needed to make a decision.
