Process
I submitted my resume through a current IBM employee. I then had a brief phone interview that only lightly touched upon my technical experience. Following that, I took an aptitude test, and that was it.
It turns out the interview was easy because they weren't looking for specific technical experience (such as particular programming languages or similar), but rather to see if I could learn and adapt to whatever would be thrown at me once I arrived.
