I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at IBM (Bucarest, ) in Jan 2015
Interview
These are the main steps I went through:
1. Contractor/recruiter small interview: they work with many contractors so choose wisely because it's hard or impossible to change contractors
2. Technical: avarage technical questions, not too deep
3. HR kind of interview + salary negotiation: this is a critical step as you don't get much salary increase year after year

Question 1
Q: What is your skill level in comparison to our needs? (it sounds like a no-brain-er, but actually it testes your ability to find and express how you can actually help them)
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at IBM (Bengaluru) in Apr 2017
Interview
The interview consisted of three rounds-
1. General screening by the IBM HR - Self introduction only here generally.
2. Second was English voice and accent test - thought process, fluency and accent tests where you would be asked to speak on a few topics. You would be marked on 5 or 10 in these tests, i believe.
3. Third was the Operations Manager round you are asked some basic troubleshooting questions and checked for your stability and attitude. A Tip here: Remember to remember the manager's name as thanking him by name at the end of the round works miracles. "The sweetest sound in the world for a person is the name of his/her name" ;)
