I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Hyderābād) in Aug 2010
Interview
1. Technical round consisted of a case study to find out the feasibility of a certain technology being used.
2. Manager round was a behavioral round with no technical questions asked. Was more about the previous role.
For me, there were two rounds of technical questions and one HR round. Each round is an elimination round. Usually the process completes within a couple of weeks. You might need to be patient though, and wait for them to roll out your offer.
