I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Hortolândia) in Jan 2012
Interview
The employer got my resume from a referral program, he set up a meeting by telephone, where we talked about 40 minutes, after which he sent me a form with several technical questions to be answered, now the next step is wait the results of this.
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at IBM (Washington, DC) in Jul 2010
Interview
This was a massive job fair - not happy with the time spent and the disinterested employees (not hiring managers) I spent some limited time with in a short, noisy ballroom with hundreds of other potential employees.
The employee was much younger and snotty. She showed no concern whatsoever as a potential employee of IBM.
