I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Austin, TX) in Oct 2018
Interview
Spoke with manager from internship. They set up a on-site interview with their team for me. I spoke with the team lead and several other members on the design and verification teams. Fairly straight-forward since I had already interned there before hand, so my questions were more about my previous work at IBM.
