I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at IBM in Feb 2014
Interview
Rigorous- multiple phone/in-person interviews. Individual and group settings as well.
Experience in sales a plus coming out of college. Leadership qualities essential.
I'd recommend understanding key IBM executives and strategies before the interviews.
