EMC Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – resume submission, telephonic interview and then the onsite interview and finally offer

Interview Details – I was referred by an employee, the Recruiter called me and said she will let me know when the hiring manager is ready to talk. The Manager called without any time fixed and I couldn't talk to him at that time for I was in another interview. Later the HR said he selected someone else. Then I was fixed for a 1:1 interview with another hiring manager who would shoot a question and wouldn't give you even 20sec to frame your answer, he would just shoot the other question or take it as "no experience"

Interview Details – I was contacted by this company after a referral from a friend who works internally at EMC. At first, the interview process went well, with the exception of driving up from my home in San Jose to Pleasanton excepting a series of 4 or 5 in person interviews and having it turn into one interview, with apologies for the others needing to be cancelled. During all this time, I never received any feedback, but was asked to keep interviewing and moving to the next step in the process. Eventually I met with the VP who apparently was the final decision maker, even though the position reported to a different VP. The in person interview kept getting moved, and eventually it was a phone interview. After completing the interview, I never heard back from EMC. After repeated emails and phone calls I finally gave up. The disrespect this showed to me as a person as well as my time is unimaginable. I would never treat potential candidates this way and I expect it says volumes about the company in general.

Interview Details – The interview was not difficult. Questions about how I managed multiple projects in the past? How did I improve the quality of SW from release to release? Director explained her vision and asked how would I go about make it happen with the team etc?

Unfortunately the the decission makers interviewed me over the phone and 3 local folks interviewed face to face. I am not that great on phone interview and don't beleive left a good impression.

Have not heard any feedback even after I sent couple of e-mails.

Interview Details – The Manager gave an introduction about the group, and its interaction with other organizations within EMC. Two more 1:1 interviews about 40 minutes each. Questions mostly on the components of a storage system, ways to evaluate the performance etc. After 1:1 interviews, a short session with the Manager again who pointed out the next phases. No word about the salary till this point.

Negotiation Details – I received a verbal offer from the HR, next day of the interview. I asked him to give me a couple of days to think over it. He was a bit reluctant but then agreed. Called me again after 2 days. I suggested he increase the base salary by 5%. He came back after an hour and agreed to it. Note that the negotiations are more likely to succeed for higher level positions compared to entry level ones. The base salary may vary from one group to another as well.

Interview Details – Met with 4 employees. Each one were at different levels. Questions ranged from technical to business. Not very hard questions but, they were thorough.

Negotiation Details – I told them what I was looking for and we negotiated somewhere in the middle. very happy with the package

Interview Details – A quick advice to potential college interns: DO NOT take the college career fair for granted. If you are really serious about working for this company, you should do the following. Show that you're interested by interviewing the HR rep on the spot, don't wait for them to ask you questions. Don't be surprised if HR asks for an in-depth example of your teamwork experience, this is a corporate environment and you need to show that you'll play well with others. Lastly, don't be so robotic in your answers. During the interview process you'll probably get a friendly interviewer and very serious interviewer (I still think they did that on purpose to see how well I could deal with people with different personalities). Relax, maintain your posture, and talk just as if you were talking to your professor. FYI, you'll most likely be interviewed in an open area around other people.

Negotiation Details – Well their offer was competitive with others that i received, so there was no need to negotiate.

Interview Details – Hiring process was quite transparent.. The interviewer were good at testing the skills and problem solving capabilities of candidates.. The positions were properly described to the candidates and asked about choices of working.. Candidates background was well analyzed and matched with profile before interview.. The problems asked during interview were innovative and designed to test the skills of candidate.. I liked the interview process.. HR approached the selected candidates with mails and phone calls..
