Interviewed Jul 2010 in Washington, DC (took a day)
This was a massive job fair - not happy with the time spent and the disinterested employees (not hiring managers) I spent some limited time with in a short, noisy ballroom with hundreds of other potential employees.
The employee was much younger and snotty. She showed no concern whatsoever as a potential employee of IBM.

Interviewed May 2009 (took a day)
Our IT department from a company based in SF was outsourced to IBM. We had access to all IBM their job openings, we had a limited time to find a job within IBM. Back in 2007, I found a few PM openings in their job board. I would IM the Hiring Managers of the position and ask about postion. I was referred to 3 different Hiring Manager before I landed the position.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Bangalore (India) (took 3 months)
had a very good round of initial interview and I was expecting to be shortlisted for the 2nd round - but unfortunately I heard that my interview response was negative.
I'm really unsure of what could have happened to mark it as "negative" - I'm confused!!
I was asked about generic PM practices, they heard about my projects, they explained about their position being interviewed for and also asked me about my notice period... by the time you think you will hear back positively from them… astonishingly it was negative!

Interviewed Dec 2010 (took 2+ weeks)
I posted my job request on-line. I included a resume. My last three appraisals were made available to the hiring manager. I had one phone interview with the hiring manager that resulted in getting an offer. I was transferred to my new department and started working in December. I retained the same band and salary level.
