I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2020
Interview
Had to take a cognitive assessment and a personality assessment. Had 2 remote interviews online. First interview was 1 hour and consisted of a presentation on an experimental design challenge. Second interview was 30 minutes and asked behavioral questions. Total process took 6-7 months, but after talking to someone on linkedin and asking for help moving things along, I got my offer within 3 weeks.

I applied online. I interviewed at IBM in Feb 2021
Interview
You first speak with a recruiter, then given a Design Challenge. After that there are 2 rounds of interviews (these were over the phone, normally they might be in person but I'm not sure)
A few cognitive exercises / tests online, 1:1 interview with a design research presentation, small group interview with manager-level employees. Overall, a very positive experience with very nice people, and no surprises in the interview questions. I did not have a phone screen.
