I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Bloomington, IN) in Nov 2016
Interview
First round was a video round with pre-determined set of 13 questions which had both behavioral and technical.
Second round was a Guru interview where a data scientist took an interview. It was a resume sweep and additional questions wherever possible. It was technical. Got selected for the finish line event.
