I applied through college or university. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Lenovo (San Jose, CA) in Oct 2017
Interview
I applied in the summer, got an e-mail assessment in late summer, got called into half-day interview in September; they gave the impression that there would only be one more final round of interviews but once you pass the half-day and select which teams you would be okay with working in, you have to go through another full 3-round process again.

Question 1
It's closely related to the case and industry, has nothing to do with your resume.
First, it is an online IQ-type quiz then multiple rounds of interviews. One individual and one group interview take one whole day. If you advance then it is another round of individual interviews with the team you applied for.
Only First Stage of Interview. First interview was with Lenovo Manager via video call. It was a case study with questions to answer after.
Few hours later there was a group interview with a different case study with Lenovo Future Leaders Program Coordinator and scribe person. After reading case study group discussed and presented ideas.
