I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at IBM (Guadalajara, Jalisco) in Oct 2014
Interview
We had three exams evaluating our English and problem solving skills, then a few interviews with some project managers, mostly non-technical questions were asked.
The exams were easy for the most part, but were timed and that made them a little more complicated.
The interviews were not very technical, I was asked what languages did I know, what projects had I done while I was in school and if I knew the software development life cycle. Given that the position was for an entry level IT Specialist, the process wasn't very lengthy or particularly difficult.
good as what i read online and heard from friends past experience. Would recommend to others as well. The HR person is really friendly and efficient on communication and logistics
