I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at IBM (London, England)
Interview
Transfered in under TUPE. Interview process was a joke, utterly disorganised and I felt I was interviewing them! Knew I'd got a job (half of us were made redundant) as the IBM rep seemed to be clutching at straws to find something to ask me due to lack of prep on his part.

Question 1
"So, what do you do then?". Total lack of prep for interview. Amateurish.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at IBM (Burlington, ON) in Jul 2012
Interview
It was an interview arranged because of an internal referral against an opening. No HR was involved and was managed directly by the hiring manager. It took just couple of mails to agree on the time and date of the interview. Hiring manager was fexible to reschedule the interview to a better place because I did not have a car.

Question 1
How do you manage people in the projects who do not report in to you!
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Dubuque, IA) in May 2008
Interview
Applied online twice for the same job. Nothing the first time. Second time mentioned a contact that was an IBM employee. Their hiring team is in another state. Only one HR person onsite so the Managers do the interviewing. Got a call to set up the interview. Interviewed with a manager that hardly spoke about the available position.

Question 1
Hardly spoke about the actual position. They just spoke about thier experiences at IBM.
