I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at IBM in Feb 2012
Interview
The interview process was straight forward and typical for consulting positions. Candidates were selected for first round interviews based on their online application (submitted through the company website and the campus recruiting online portal in this case) and were required to complete two interviews: a behavioral interview and a case interview. The behavioral interview was conducted by a recruiter if I recall correctly and questions were focused primarily on past job experiences and how those experiences will translate into future success as an IBM Senior Consultant. The case interview was conducted by a current senior consultant and the case involved a large-scale SAP implementation for a global Fortune 500 company. Candidates were asked how they would plan, structure, and execute their approach to the change management aspect of this client engagement.

Question 1
What approach would you take to assessing the client‘s current learning capabilities and developing the go forward strategy? What issues would you consider regarding the large-scale implementation of the SAP technology platform?
Very badly organized, unclear job description and very little information about the team and business units, lots of waiting time for final answer, they do not pay enough attention to match people to the teams especially for fresh graduates.
