Interview Details – Hiring at EMC was an exceptional experience due to their internal employee referral program. Two interviews were conducted, with the second being a group lunch with my second level manager, my future manager and a peer to my future manager. The whole process was relaxed, congenial ant totally professional. HR staff communicated effectively and honestly throughout the process.

Negotiation Details – I was up front with the HR folks about my previous comp package, where I wanted to be placed in the EMC salary ranges (in the middle) and about making less than my boss. EMC responded very fairly. Additionally, a request for a hiring stock grant was fulfilled.

Interview Details – I went on several interviews, make sure you dress well and answer all questions honestly.

Interview Details – Applied through the company website and got a call from a recruiter within a week. He asked some questions based on experience and Resume and scheduled an interview with the Hiring Manager. The recruiter had asked me the role was in Java, Distributed Computing and Multithreading.

Interview Details – Initial telephone interview with HR representative.
Next was brief telephone interview with hiring manager.
I attended an in-person interview with hiring manager and potential peer. I was asked to prepare 2 presentations for the interview and questions were asked based on my presentations on leadership and 180 business plan. I was treated very well and with courtesy.

However, what was disappointing was that I received ZERO feedback after the interview. I was told that HR would follow up with me. They called, left a message asking me to call back - which I did twice and I then followed up to the hiring manager with an email and received nothing in response. I drove 250 miles to attend the interview and I am surprised that a company of this size and esteem would be so discourteous and unprofessional.

Interview Details – The interview process consisted of an initial phone screen with the recruiter, phone interview with the hiring manager and 2 sets of onsite round of interviews. I had applied online to their job posting and the recruiter reached out for an initial phone screen. After about a week, I was scheduled to speak with the hiring manager for about 45 minutes. The phone interview was basically to learn about my work experience, background and details around the specific job position/team at the company.

I did a follow-up with the recruiter on my phone interview, and I was informed that the hiring manager liked my candidacy and wanted to invite me for the first round of onsite interviews. The first onsite consisted of 45 minute interviews with 4 people (hiring manager, 2 co-workers and business partner supporting that role). Most of the interviews were situational (case study types) and consisted of asking me about my previous work experience and how I would be a good fit to the team. There were a couple of technical questions around corporate finance/FP&A (P/L basics and how different industry have different P/L structures etc.), budgeting and planning process, and some basic accounting knowledge questions. The interviewers were knowledgeable and seemed genuinely interested in talking and learning about me.

After about a week or 10 days, I was contacted by the recruiter for another (final) round of onsite interviews. It was for 1.5 hours (2 people each for 45 mins). I met with the HR person, and my hiring manager's boss. The HR person asked very general, basic HR questions about why I want to work for EMC, what are my long term goals, what interested me particularly about this opportunity etc. The final interview with the manager of the hiring manager was a little more tough. The questions included more on my decisions made in the past (movement from one job to another and what motivated me to make the change), what kind of value-add or contributions I could bring to role, some general finance and behavioral questions as well.
I felt the interviews went great, and got a similar response from the recruiter and team (when I send out thank you notes). I was contacted by the recruiter after a few days saying I was one of the top candidates and we discussed about salary and benefits. A few days later the recruiter contacted me and came back with a lame excuse that they were still considering others for the role and the hiring manager wanted to continue interviewing others. I wasn't offered any other explanation or feedback for my rejection after reaching the final round. Nevertheless, it was overall a good experience interviewing with EMC.

Interview Details – 4-5 interviews. Most conversational.

Interview Details – Very straight forward. First received a call from a recruiter with an intial conversation then she setup first phone interview with manager. Went in for 1 interview with 2 individuals and was offered the position the next day.

Interview Details – The interview process begins with an email from an EMC recruiter setting up a time and place for the interview with the hiring manager. My hiring process consisted of email, phone and in-person interview.
