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.

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 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 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 Dec 2011 (took a day)
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.

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.

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.

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.
