EMC Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Intially contacted by recruiter and arranged phone interview with Hiring manager followed by on-site interview with one of the peer manager.

Interview Details – Saw a job posting in department email list and applied. Two days later get a phone call from a manager. I didn't notice the email he sent me so the interview was a surprise. Luckily I used the material I prepared for another company to handle the interview. I described my project in great detail to show my on-hand experience. That impressed the manager.

Interview Details – HR contacted me to come in. Had two rounds of interviews. No curveballs... asked quite a few questions about historical contributions.

Interview Details – Preliminary interview on-campus, 2nd round interview on-site. One day for second round, 6 interviewers, round-robin style, everyone in the same big room. 20-30 mins for each. No pre-interview networking dinner or time for networking at all beforehand as is generally standard for finance rotational programs. Also no case study portion of interview as is also generally standard. EMC does not reimburse for travel and therefore only recruits local talent that is likely to have their own transportation. I rented a car to get there, which cost over $100 and EMC did not reimburse. It was obvious that EMC did not care to find the best talent as they put little to no effort in their interview process. Most of the students that were interviewing did not even know what they were doing there. While talking to some of them, I found out that they were interviewing for banking and consulting jobs at the same time. Clear that they did not know what they were doing and EMC did nothing to weed them out. The female interviewers were much easier to interview with than the males. Males generally asked irrelevant questions about situations that you likely have never been in and give zero indication of how good of a fit the candidate is for the job. The way they treated interviewees did not make it seem like they really wanted you to accept an offer from them if they gave you one. Easily at the bottom of my list of interview experiences.

Interview Details – I had posted my resume on indeed.com and applied to EMC. I was contacted by a senior corporate recruiter and was asked to have a phone interview that week. I then had a second pone interview with a IT consultant a week later. The next step is to fly to Chicago for an onsite interview. The process has taken about 4 weeks.

Interview Details – Had a one on one interview following a university career fair. They did not seem to give the interview chance easily. I had an alumni friend working there who helped get my name on the list. The interview was average, no trick questions. Made it seem like a sure bet to move forward to next level of interviews. Got a generic response to my thank you email. Sent a few emails following but getting no response, positive or negative from interviewer or HR.

Interview Details – Two phone interviews and a onsite interview with the hiring manager.

Interview Details – talk to the recuiter in campus career fair. then after 3 weeks got a call from one of their HR and scheduled a phone interview. The person is very nice, and give me a lot of adivse. He first asked me my background. then he wanted to know my interest about cloud computering. After the couple minutes free chat, he started tech. question.

Interview Details – Contacted by recruiter by email. Set up initial phone screen with hiring manager. The hiring manager asked me to pick a project from the resume which I find most exciting and explain it to him. Then, he asked a technical question to design data structure and algorithm to implement API's that interface between the user file system and the native file system.
