Only had one round of interviews, as I attended a few of their on-campus events. Other people had an additional phone interview.

Heard back about a week after the in person interview.

Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6+ months. I interviewed at IBM (San Francisco, CA (US)).

Interview

Long and arduous. took 6 months, 7 meetings or calls with a total of 8 people. With the exception of one interview, all were 1:1. The role is for an IBM subsidiary, so IBM didn't control the interview process, but they do control the hiring process, which is still ongoing, even though I've accepted.

Interview

Had a Telephone interview with the manager. Then, I began to talk to HR regarding some information about myself. I had to take the IPAT test, which was fairly difficult, but I think I passed. Afterwards, I was given an offer, which I was grateful for.

Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at IBM (Poughkeepsie, NY (US)).

Interview

Long and tedious. That is managers first touch base with prospects then poll the office to see if there is interest. Then maybe weeks latter a team lead will call and do a 1 on 1. Finally the manager may need 2 to 4 weeks to get financial to sign off on a offer. So the whole process is long and drawn out. Also a department many want you but not get financial approval so prepare yourself for a waist of time. Also anyone who is a collage graduate currently can be hired quickly and does not need this financial approval since they are funded via a separate budget.

Application

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Louisville, KY (US)) in January 2014.

Interview

The interview went really. They asked the basic questions that you would expect to hear at an interview. Then they asked more specific questions about the position and how I could apply my skills from previous professional endeavors in this new position. They asked a series of hypothetical questions that weren't difficult but definitely required some thought. It's okay to pause during the itnerview and think about what you want to say. Don't feel like you need to rush through. I think they appreciated how much I considered each question. After all, they did offer me the position.

Interview

Applied online, got an email which led to a first round phone interview which was personality/fit based. I then went into NYC for the final round interviews since they don't do on campus recruiting at my school. I had two 30-minute, 1 on 1 interviews. One behavioral/fit, the other was the case. Got a phone call a week later saying they were offering me the internship.

The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IBM in May 2009.

Interview

I interviewed for a legal position right out of law school. I thought the interviewers were very engaging and upfront about what was expected from their hires. I've read a lot of reviews on here that state that IBM is no longer innovative, but that may not apply to the legal department. I found the planned organization to be quite unique.

Interview Questions

Interview

It was fairly standard, straightforward and friendly. The interviewer at the time was the General Counsel. She was great. Very smart, direct, and open. I felt right at home. I also interviewed with the Assistant GC at the time. She asked similar question, like years of experience, complex deals I had worked on, etc. I also spoke with the Controller and the head of Sales. Likewise, a very friendly, smart group.
