I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at IBM in Sept 2010
Interview
This was applying for a position internally. IBM employees in Global Services apply for jobs that are contracts on clients accounts. You are on your own to get that next position within IBM once your current client contract is over. Sometimes you do not hear back. The competition within IBM for any of the few (today0 internal jobs posted is fierce as IBM trims the older American workforce. It is up to you to sell yourself to the deployment or business manager that owns the contract. IBM no longer provides training money to US workers so you have to be aggressive at building your own skills at your own expense and time. You are required to build your skills by submitting an education plan that is formal. The plan is reviewed on deciding to keep you or lay you off in the next round.
It was not very good and t.the process is very quick, Sorry to end up with it very quickly and pretty much like a technical questions around that. It was my first experience.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Markham, ON) in Mar 2023
Interview
Fairly straight forward panel process where they ask about experience, typical interview questions like tell us a time you were faced with a difficult situation, etc. Asked about tools I had previously used, my education, and items in my portfolio. Final round was a test to improve poorly written documentation and more personal questions to see if I would be a fit for the team culturally.

Efficient and direct interview process. Recruiter was very helpful and encouraging. Hiring manager was laid back yet professional, and wanted to know a lot about me, my background, and my potential at the company.
