Interviewed May 2011 in Bangalore (India) (took 3 days)
First round will be a phone interview .
Next you may need to visit an IBM office near to your city either for face to face or video conferencing.
Later HR round which will be directly taken by your reporting manager as there in no specific HR over there in IBM.
In a week or so you will get a form to complete and send it to them with all ur current employer/personal documents.Later they can send you a offer letter and if you wish to join can accept by replying back to the HR team.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Melbourne (Australia) (took 3 weeks)
surprisingly quick and informal. The country manager at the time came from a acquisition so I believe he was the key driver for this no fuss and effective approach.

Interviewed Nov 2008 in Johannesburg (South Africa) (took 5 weeks)
Introduction by existing employee. Had a 1 on 1 interview and submitted my CV. Heard nothing for 3 weeks. I called the manager and he said he was keen but salary could be an issue. Over the next 2 weeks we spoke 3 times, resolved the salary issue and I was made an offer which I accepted.
The HR department were really slow and unresponsive in processing my info altho i was paid on time from the 1st month but had to supply them some docs twice as they "misplaced" the first ones!
I've heard of people who were made a verbal offer but IBM internal processes are so slow that it took 3+months for a formal offer to be fully approved by which time the candidate had accepted a position elsewhere.
Incidentally, although they ask permission to do all the background checks, they never called my previous employer, nor any of the people I gave as references and the credit bureau showed no inquiries so clearly their screening is not so thorough!

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took 2 months)
Started with a contact from HR.
Phone interview followed that was technical in nature. Questions pertained to the profession, that anyone with formal project management training and experience can answer. Some real world situational questions to round off the Q&A interview.
1:1 face to face interview was open ended, and friendly. Tell me about youserlf kind of interview.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Saint Louis, MO (took 3 weeks)
The career center at wy university gave my resume to the manager of a project that was hiring (my current boss). We spoke over the phone as an introduction to discuss the project and IBM in general. We had a formal interview about a week later that mainly consisted of a resume walk trough and a discussion of my past experience and education. There were brief questions about my skill with programs like Microsoft Excel and my ability to write for communication, but no technically challenging questions. Everyone I talked to was very open, straight forward, and helpful. I enjoyed the professionalism, courtesy, and timeliness of fun their communication with me. They offered me a job about a week after the interview, and I accepted.
