Interviewed Jan 2011 in Research Triangle Park, NC (took 1+ week)
I interviewed for an internal position. After 10 days the Hiring manager contacted me by email to set up telephone interview. Standard questions regarding my qualifications as wells as behavior based questions. No feedback was provided after the interview even after 1 email and one voicemail to the hiring manager. My current manger contacted the hiring manager to receive a response. I later found out that the posting and interview was a formality since another internal candidate had been promised the position. I am now looking for a job outside of the company.

Not stressfull, but very technical. Algorithms and programming questions via phone are difficult to answer, but it is doable. Work culture is very relaxed, but performance is judged by code and solution quality. Code doesn't get reviewed thoroughly however. This is a key thing that makes you a better programmer. In my opinion IBM is far easier to get in at the interview then say Amazon, but depending on the unit you may be quickly recycled out the door if you don't perform.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Raleigh, NC (took 2 months)
I went through two phone interviews followed by a face to face interview with my hiring manager. IBM was very generous in the recruiting process and flew me to my interview as well as put me up in a hotel near the office site. It took a while for a decision to be made, but it was worth the wait.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Research Triangle Park, NC (took 5 weeks)
Very professional and efficient process. I didn't have to wait for long and was treated well by HR, recruiters, managers, and interviewers. Got a good feel for the prospective position, the first interview felt like a comfortable conversation, I got to ask plenty of questions. They really inquire a lot on previous experience, especially what is already on your resume.

Interviewed May 2008 in Raleigh, NC (took 2 weeks)
University 1 on 1 interview with some whiteboard engineering problems I was able to solve. Phone interview followed the 1 on 1. IQ test online after the phone interview. On-site interview for several hours, included lunch. Several whiteboard engineering questions in the on-site interview. Work culture is very different than the rest of IBM, everyone in my team has a physical office and is discouraged from working from home.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Research Triangle Park, NC (took 3 weeks)
I applied online to a posting that I saw on the IBM careers page; I filled everything out and uploaded a resume. Because I do not live in the state in which I applied for, I received a call from the manager I would report to and set up a telephone interview. The interview, itself, lasted about an hour and included a range of questions (he was required to ask a set given by IBM, but others were more job specific to the position I applied for). He let me know that I fit the mold they were looking for and I would hear back within a few days. He called, a few days later, while I was sitting in my accounting class and left a voicemail letting me know he recommended that HR proceed with the hiring process. HR emailed me, about a week later, with a link to a more in-depth job application and a link to IBM's intelligence test, the IPATO. After completing these online the night I received them, I got a call from the HR recruiter a week later letting me know that my offer was approved and I would be getting an email shortly. Hours later, I received the email with an attachment inviting me to join their team (it also gave details with pay, etc). I accepted via email and start once this semester ends.

There was not any negotiating among the recruiter and I. After waiting weeks, they send you a final offer with everything listed in a PDF file; from here, you either accept or reject.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Raleigh, NC (took a day)
The interviewer was very professional and nice. However, it is important to be well prepared for this interview. One question asked was to show the process of bringing a new technology to market. There were some basic questions and some behavioral based questions. If accepted to round two, the next interview is a case-based interview.
