I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Hong Kong) in Apr 2017
Interview
face to face interview first, but the partner kept me waiting in a cafe for 2 hours, as he is busy.

I applied online. I interviewed at IBM (Dubuque, IA)
Interview
Very streamlined. Got an initial phone interview followed by a scheduled in-person one. Once I arrived I waited for the interviewer to be available. The interview was straight forward with no real whacky questions.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at IBM
Interview
Phone interview 1 with HR. Phone interview 2 with hiring manager. In person interview with hiring manager and one more IBM manager, not necessarily from the Product Management team.
