I was referred by my uncle, who works for IBM. I would assume this allowed me to skip a step or two, but I know it at least short-listed me.

I received an email from one of the managers who scheduled a phone interview. The phone interview consisted of two parts:

The first was with a group of managers who talked about me as a person, why I chose the school I did, some of my background, and mostly just general personality questions.

They then left the room and brought in a group of techs. The tech group asked more about my programming experience and some of the programs and projects I had listed on my resume.

Overall, the interview took about 1 hour and 30 minutes and ended on good terms. I heard back quickly about moving on to the next part of the process, and I expect to have the official offer within a week.

They didn't ask any specific testing questions. They just wanted to know what kind of experience I had and what I'd worked with.
