I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at IBM (Costa Mesa, CA) in Sep 2011
Interview
Two interviews with two Functional Verification Test managers. First setup an hour-long phone interview and asked me about my current role on my team, questions about previous projects, and an explanation of what the job responsibilities consist of. The manager called me a week later saying they selected me for the position.
During this time, a second manager called me on my office number and gave me a quick 10-minute on the spot interview asking what I did on my team and he told me I was exactly what he was looking for.
Never got an offer from either of them. Lot of politics at play in IBM... Don't believe anyone until you have an offer!

Question 1
Describe a project I had in school and what were my roles in the group
I had a technical interview with IBM to become a QA engineer, and the interviewer's behavior was very disappointing. It's important that you don't do the same thing for the next candidate.
