I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at IBM in Mar 2014
Interview
I met a research staff member at a conference and revealed my interests on the company. Then I had a phone interview with the staff to confirm my qualification. Then I was invited as a seminar speaker. I talked to 4 postdocs/junior staffs in the morning, gave a talk at noon, and talked to 4 senior staffs/managers in the afternoon. It went well. Most of them are interested in my current research. A potential manager asked me a hypothetical question about how to deal with a specific technical problem. I had a positive experience at IBM. The job opening came up after 3 months. They are interested in my so they contacted my reference about my qualifications on that position. My reference said the position might not fit my background therefore I did not get the offer.
Got the interview through connections. Interview process consisted of on site seminar of PhD work and 1:1 interviews. The process was well organized and not difficult or intimidating, everyone was nice to talk to.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at IBM (New York, NY) in Feb 2022
Interview
long, difficult, and unnecessary. Unenjoyable, didn't want the job afterwards. The process took forever to hear back from them and overall was unimpressed. I ended up looking for work elsewhere instead because of how terrible the process was.
