I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at IBM (Austin, TX) in Dec 2015
Interview
The process was very quick and relatively painless. From the initial application to the hiring was approximately 2 weeks. First, there was a one hour phone screen with a senior staff member. During this interview, they asked me to talk about my work. Within a day or two, I was called for an on-site interview. The on-site was around half a day and was one-on-one interviews with potential colleagues and managers. People asked various questions about past work and workplace experiences
