I applied in-person. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at IBM in Aug 2016
Interview
Very comfortable. It was a conversation rather than a interview
The Interviewer asked me questions, listened and added thoughts to what I was saying, making it feel very relaxed and easy. The questions were mainly about previous Projects done and about the technologies used in those projects.
The interviewer gave a brief introduction of the project in which I was supposed to work in the term of 6 months during the internship.
