Interviewed Oct 2011 in Palo Alto, CA (took a day)
I was first contacted by a recruiter from VMware who scheduled a phone interview with one of the engineers. The gentleman who called went straight to the interviewing, first asking me to identify all possible bugs within a given chunk of code and then asking various low level OS and some USB protocol questions. The interviewer was completely impersonal but did give me a few hints here and there. I was fortunate enough to get to see the feedback that the gentleman wrote after our conversation, according to which I didn't answer anything wrong but did not give the answer he expected.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took a day)
I was referred by one of my friend in this group.
The manger seems interested in what I have done in my phd study.
After briefly discussed with him about my projects, he started to ask
me general technical questions. I have answered some of them including
how to implement a semaphore, spinlock, read write lock, interrupt, etc.
I guess I was rejected.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Austin, TX (took 2 months)
I had 3 different internal recruiters I worked with which added to the complexity of the process. I interviewed with 12 sales people over 6 weeks. The role was new to the company and I felt they did not know exactly what they were looking for and could not address a lot of the specific questions about the position, understandable because it was a new position.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Palo Alto, CA (took 2 days)
CRAZY company.
Both my phone interview and team interview went well and they informed my about the "next step" which will be a second round interview. Next, after 3 weeks later, I just got a short email stating that the team has re-accessed that position and not willing to move forward with me!!!
My question then why did you talk about "next step" ???
It is not that I am out of job or begging a job from them - but some professional communication is rare there.
It is a bureaucratic company who got some cash in their hands - but lacks of decent, bare minimum professionalism.

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took 1 week)
The interview was pretty straight forward. However, when they offered the job to another, VMware didn't bother to contact me that I didn't make the cut.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Palo Alto, CA (took 1 week)
One of the interviewer was looking at his mobile phone while I was explaining on whiteboard.
Other two guys were friendly.
Manager paid for the lunch in cafeteria.
Discussion with manager uncovered that what they were looking for was just a coder and I wanted bigger role than that. So, we did not find fit and hence no offer.
