I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at IBM (Edison, NJ) in Aug 2008
Interview
IBM has a rigorous interview process. It starts with Staffing agency that fills in huge number of forms before they even can submit you. Most of the staffing agencies as well have pretty tough criterions for you on communication and experience. This is followed by the IBM recruiter calling you and verifying on the information. Then is the technical interview for which they invite you to a location and they take good care of you. This is a panel interview followed by personal interview.

Online interview with AI, we asked to answer five questions with a recorded answer. Its not an interview with a person, more like initial assessment with AI. There is a guideline to answer the questions, very helpful.
