I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Boston, MA) in Sept 2013
Interview
Applied Online after a colleague referred me.
Recruiter called and talked about the position etc and set up a Technical/Screening interview. Technical interview wasn't very technical, just wanted me to walk him through my resume. If you pass this, they'll set up an onsite interview. They will have you pick a day and fly you out for an "Interview day".

Interview
After online application submission, next step was a machine-based interview. The Recorded Competency Video is a short assessment that allows you "to demonstrate your workplace competency beyond what a traditional resume allows. You will be presented with a pre-recorded question, and you will be asked to record your response . This is a timed assessment."
"This recorded interview will take between 10-20 minutes to complete. You will respond to multiple prerecorded interview questions. For each question you will be given 1 minute to prepare and 3 minutes to respond."
I was presented with four questions in total. There was a practice question available that lets you get a feel for the process.
