I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Bengaluru) in May 2015
Interview
I got a Inmail from recruiter (IBM employee) who found my profile on linkedin. We moved on mail and call conversation. JD was very much relevant to me.
Round1: HR tech validation and JD matching
Round2: Techies with brief 30min discussion on profile and what exactly I do. matching points with requirement and some basic tech details.
Round3: Final. at IBM office Pune. Discussed detailed on tech questions, how to and what details. It was for 1 hr with tech team on call.
Round4: Offer details.
I got offer after around 2 months of first call. It's damn slow process with IBM. I declined as I read all detailed reviews of IBM and growth. I wasn't very interested to go Banglore.
Offered band B7. 9years work exp.

Question 1
It was regarding a tax and salary conversion related questions
IBM scheduled an interview without asking for my availability, forcing me to miss class in order to attend as I was completely unable to reschedule it. I was also sent no email in the days following the interview to update me on the status of my application. I had to look at the website to see that I was no longer under consideration. Just an overall awful process.
