I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Londen, Engeland) in Apr 2016
Interview
Basic undergrad level computer science. Data structures and Algorithm. There were subject specific questions. I applied for formal verification domain. So, there were questions on model checking. The interviewers were friendly. They give you a broad picture of what to expect during the interview process. The hiring manager called me and he also asked questions on various topics. The overall internship was organised very well. The total duration of my stay was 4 months. I strongly recommend to apply to IBM Research lab. We filed a patent and submitted a research paper out of the internship work.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at IBM (Dubai) in Jun 2016
Interview
My interview was over the phone. It was very friendly, professional, informative and comprehensive. Not nerve wrecking at all. My interviewer made sure I understood the role details and asked relevant questions to see if I fit the requirements well. My HR recruiter was really helpful and quick during the process which made it a pleasant process.

Gave an aptitude test for an hour mostly consisting sequences and fraction problems. These problems are quite tricky and will require some amount preparation. Checked on the portal for status which was changed to reject after 4 months.
