Interviewed Jan 2012 in Hopkinton, MA (took 3 days)
The HR from the company had contacted me whether I would be available for a telephone interview the very next day for the internship position related to Mainframe (z/OS). I acknowledged them and they did give me a call at the right time. In fact I had the interview with the manager of co-op position. It was very basic interview with usual questions and little bit of technical jargons related to the job. The whole process was about 30-40 minutes. At the end they had asked whether I had any questions for them. In the end they said they will get back to me as quickly as possible, in fact got my results in the 30 minutes after the interview. The same HR person had called and she did mention about the offer and application process.. Very quick process, really genuine people, really satisfied and happy unlike the others (they take forever to get back to you). Can't wait to get started , in fact they said they will pay for my relocation too, from New York to Hopkinton :)

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 3 days)
Was contacted by hiring manager to see if I was still available and interested in a TSE position. After speaking with the hiring manager for about 45 mins. I was invited for a in person interview. I interviewed with two pool managers and the hiring manager that day. Was asked about my technical experience. The next day the staffing manager called me and said the interviewers were impressed and asked what my salary expectations would be. Also gave me info. on the next steps. The next day I was interviewed with another pool manager over the phone, which was the last interview. The following day the staffing manager gave me a verbal offer which would need to get approved by upper management before sending to me. In the meantime, submitted my info. for my background and did my drug test.
Still waiting for an official offer and results from both background and drug test. Was advised 2-3 weeks.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Steinbach am Taunus (Germany) (took 2 weeks)
It turned out that the job announcement was only about 30% of what the hiring manager expected of the candidate. The manager also had expected more experience form the candidate to bring consulting tools and presentations with them to avoid the company from having to build their own withpout realizing that a candidate would not have inside information to the products and services they intended to offer. The expectations were unrealistic and mis-placed.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took a day)
Met with 3 Sr. team members and was asked basic technical questions. It was very casual and not a tough interview. It felt like it was more of an effort on their part to sell me on accepting a position there. The people seemed a little boring there, and not the most technical.

Reason for Declining

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Hopkinton, MA (took a day)
It was efficient and inefficient at the same time. I had great references, resume, experience, and etc. She asked what my price was, and I did not know (and did not want to be the first to say a number). She got stinky and told me to call back when I knew more, but that a "hiring freeze" could happen anytime. Later I found out she called me something less then flattering. Maybe she got the vibe because I hadn't slept in 24 hrs.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Irvine, CA (took a day)
I have an interview opportunity at EMC. I have to talk with 3 teams. They are really nice and smart. They asked me about Linux and Vmware. So my advice for you is you need to have some knowledge and experiences about Linux. If you are a student, they will ask you about some courses that you took in colleges, like C++. Just feel free and confident, and you will be fine. They are really nice so I do not feel any pressure. If they ask you about the things you don't know, just say that you don't know, that is fine.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
Applied online and received an invitation to an on campus interview. Basic questions about resume and previous experience. Interviewer said that they would contact me about invitation to next round whether or not i was accepted, but it never happened. Seemed to be a competitive process, a lot of people were being interviewed on campus.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 3 months)
Barely stitched together, disorganized, barely communicated, not well thought through interviewing process: One person I interviewed with had no idea what the role was for, never received critical information from hiring manager. Whole process really turned me off about EMC - too much hurry up and wait. Ultimately they went for another option than me, though I was a finalist, but by the time they finally made their decision I had lost interest and would not have taken the role.

The director did phone interview with me and did some screen background check for fitting to EMC culture.
Then I got invite for 1:1 interview at HQ. The interview is general topic, what work at EMC looks like. The director is very nice and friendly. But the hiring process was taking for about a month. Many steps take into account. Please be patient.
