Interviewed Nov 2010 in New York, NY (took 3 weeks)
I was contacted by a recruiter and had an initial phone screen with them. This led to a phone interview with the internal recruiter. This was followed by two separate in-person interviews. I was extended an offer fairly quickly, however it was contingent on the drug screening and background check. The background checks were outsourced and since two of the companies I had worked for were no longer in business (one went out of business, one was acquired) getting some of the info took a long time. Since I would not give notice until successful completion, this extended the process. The other issue is that all references provided must be direct managers. No other type of reference is acceptable.

Negotiation Details
The company has a lousy vacation policy (for experienced hires who are used to more) and this is non-negotiable.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Didn't negotiate much, though later I thought I should have. Gave my minimum requirement and accepted the offer since it was better than my requirement. The mistake I made was not comparing salaries of similar positions in other companies.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Staffing Agency and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 2 months)
Hour long telephone interview with a person doing the role, followed by two three hour interviews. Found out two weeks later that their preference was for an internal candidate, despite the fact that they approached me asking was I interested in interviewing for the role! which was also advertised on the web and the EMC web site. All told they don't seem that organised, the people i was talking to seemed to reach decisions by committee.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Bangalore (India) (took 4 weeks)
The telephonic interview, 1:1 interview - technical, management,HR everything was very swift. After the offer stack up was discussed, it took nearly a month to get the final approved offer. The HR was clueless on the timeline of approval, and did not bother to engage with the candidates. This process has to be streamlined. If it continues this way, they may lose good candidates.

Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 3 days)
A recruiter I worked with passed my resume to hiring manger and set up a phone interview. I got the call a few days later from the hiring manager on the scheduled time. The interview was mostly about on my working history and technical contributions, a few easy technical questions. In the end I was told that he will email me a programming assignment. I should complete within a hour after receiving it.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Bangalore (India) (took 1 week)
EMC hiring process is random. Never trust their HR words. If they ask you for pay-slips and offer details prior to full interview then just cook some story and do not give it. If you share your salary details then you are making yourself 100% unfit for EMC.
