I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Austin, TX) in Dec 2013
Interview
The interview process was really good where they organized the activities really well and took us around town so that we could get a sense of the city and the people we would be working with. Consisted primarily of some interviews done prior to the flydown to the site, interview sessions at the site, presentations, and lunch & dinner mingling. Felt looked after throughout the interview process and got the informal result of the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you value most in design? Which project have you done that corresponds to those values?
medium - ask deep on portfolio, go really deep on portfolio, flow, and logic behind. But the interviewers are super nice and patient, so be relaxed. Good luck to all!
Competency interview was made up of 4 recorded questions based on STAR format where you are have 1 minute to prep and 3 minutes to answer the question. Includes a section to write notes on the side while you complete the assessment, as well as a practice session before you officially begin.

Question 1
Give an example where you sought out a different perspective for feedback, and how did you implement it?
virtual recorded questions, about 5 behavioral that are quite expected. How do you work in teams, collaboration, empathy, conflict, etc.
You have time to prep, and then time dedicated to answering. One thing that was unexpected for me was that it was only an audio recording, no visual so got dressed up for no reason.
