I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Toronto, ON) in Mar 2014
Interview
Efficient process, 1 aptitude test, 3 phone interviews back-to-back and an Excel Skills test. The IPAT exam is tough, use online resources to prepare for the number sequence section. The interviews gauged general competencies, i.e. communication, teamwork, etc., however, they were also used to assess organizational fit. Excel test is easy if you work with the program on a regular basis.

Question 1
If I gave you $10,000 right now that you had to invest, what would you invest it in?
Only 3 interviews and very general questions, the interviewers made the experience much more enjoyable. Easy to connect and talk with them and made the overall experience great for an interviewer
Received email for interview after 2 months of applying. Fairly conversational and not highly technical. They seek individuals who are passionate about the company, care about the role, willing to learn.

Question 1
Tell me about your previous job/internship experience.
First step was to submit online application, cover letter and resume submission. This was followed by behavioral interview questions with members of the HR/recruiter team. Two or three different conversations.
