I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IBM in Oct 2008
Interview
Was referred by a current employee of the company. Interview was with three separate people, one at a time, ten minutes each, for a total of 30 minutes. The interviewers were very casual, almost as if I had the job before they even interviewed me. It was a non-technical interview, focused mainly on getting to know the candidate.
I received an email in order to complete an assessment. The assessment were behavioral questions and I had to send in an audio recording. It was one round, and I did recieve an email for more questions but no offer after that.
