I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at IBM (Pune)
Interview
I was interviewed at IBM India Pune office. I had worst experience of interview till now. They call you at some specific time and do not even bother your existence.No timeliness at all. After waiting for minimum 2 hrs, they gave me a test paper. Even after passing that test,they asked me to come on the other day just because I didn't have passport/adhar card. I was not allowed to get interviewed for 'technical round' because of this stupid reason! Next day when I went in ,they again kept me waiting for 3 hrs and I was not interviewed even after waiting for so long. The HR team was very very rude and full of attitude! The HR didn't even have resumes of the selected candidates! The technical panel , recruitment panel were not available and you call this as an interview drive!They don't even bother if somebody leaves because of this hopeless process. The interview process is very bogus behind their big name! Please do not treat any interviewee as if they are your slaves! They have other things to do as well apart from attending your hopeless interview. If you are not serious about recruitment, stop calling out people for interviews!
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at IBM (New York, NY) in Apr 2014
Interview
I was contacted by a hiring manager by email. We scheduled a phone call where we talked about IBM and briefly talked about the job position. The call seemed to be more about culture fit. We scheduled a second call and talked more about the position. The call was followed by an online test about timed math questions.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at IBM (Damastown) in Oct 2013
Interview
Phone call interview, then onsite technical exam (45min) in Java, SQL, CCS, programming skills etc. Then on same day there was a 1-to-1 interview with the hiring manager, who also brought in engineers for the technical interview.
The tech exam was key to passing the interview process. No one is exempt from this exam.
Finally, the a director based in the US would interview me for the final stamp of approval.
