Process
I was already working as a contractor when I got hired.
I was recommended by the contracting manager.
I went through a series of personality tests and interviews. The tests were timed, and I had to submit my resume as well, along with a cover letter.
The interview process has now changed. You apply online. If selected, there is a phone interview, and then an in-person interview.
IBM is hiring mostly overseas where wages are low, and they don't have to pay US salaries.
Questions
Went through a few written exams.
