I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Mumbai) in Jan 2014
Interview
The initial phone screen with the manager went very well. After being selected to proceed to the face to face interview, I was given a rather ambiguous assignment to create an email to a client, a slide deck / presentation on the project describing security issues, and a meeting agenda for the client. I'm very glad I had read some of the other reviews on Glassdoor; however, I was still not prepared for what actually occurred.

Question 1
We would need to evaluate what training could be done in this timeframe ahead of the delayed delivery and work on virtual sessions the employees could take at their own pace in modules for repetitive training at the deployment time.

Interview
I applied online and received an email the following day from a recruiter within the company and was told to do a 3 hour online exam. He said if I had any questions just email him. I had a few questions before starting so I emailed him but never got a response. I did the online exam the following day. The online exam was very bizarre; there was no one on the other end and I had to record answers by speaking into my webcam. There was also 3 coding questions. About a week and a half later, I received an email from the same recruiter saying that I had passed the online exam and that he would call me within 48 hours to schedule an online whiteboard interview with one of their engineers.
I never received a call from the recruiter and any email I sent to him was met with radio silence. Very unprofessional. I spent 3 hours doing their HireVue exam so the least I expect is to at least get a followup email from the recruiter that they changed their mind or something instead of just ignoring me.

Interview
The interview process was fine. But I never heard back after the interview.
They just completely blew me off. The recruiter did not respond to any of three weekly emails after the interview.
A form letter rejection email would have been fine. But nope, complete silence.
I find that appalling and pretty rude.
