I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at IBM (New York, NY) in Sep 2015
Interview
Submitted my application online, and then forgot about it. One day I got a call from IBM internal recruiter introdcing a position which was not what I applied for initially. After the initial screening with the recruiter, I had a phone interview with one of the manager. After the phone interview, I was invited for an onsite interview. The scheduling of travel and lodging is smooth and painless. The onsite interview process is actually quite usual, except a few schedule changes.
