VMware Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Just chatted with VP Sales and then he looked me straight in the eye and said, "Why YOU?" I did not receive an offer for this job, and concluded that they are looking for dyed-in-the-wool enterprise sales people with ca. 10 years experience. I come from a non-traditional background and so should have had a better answer for that question. They need people who can hit the ground running immediately since they are up against Amazon and Google.

Interview Details – There was an initial recruiter-type screening, followed by a number of separate technical and business-process type interviews. Following these, there was several weeks of no activity, then an inperson interview process that included a total of 6 people in groups numbering 1,2,3.

After the interviews, I was told someone would get back to me within a week. After a month of no responses, I asked for a status and was again told someone would get back to me within a week. I have yet to get any response at all.

Interview Details – 1-Initial phone screen with recruiter. About 20 intermediate difficulty questions covering a range of general system administration and technology topics.
2-Technical Phone Screen. About 90 questions of varying degrees of difficulty. Mostly Linux/Windows and general technology questions.
3-In person interview. Deeper situation based questions and manager interview.

Negotiation Details – Recruiter handled negotiations between myself and hiring team. Asked for more twice and was turned down once.

Interview Details – Had short 10-15m phone screen, interview the next day with manager, team member and Associate on cross functional team. Lots of construction going on. Huuuge campus, wear comfortable shoes, and get there early, parking may be problematic, and no public transportation there YET, but I hear they're working on it. Generally hiring everyone as contractors for 1 YEAR- not direct hire, even if you know someone, seems to be where public tech co's are going. Interiors are very barebones, no frills. Cafeteria has good food though a bit pricey. Lots of changes going on as they keep buying companies, so everything's in constant flux. People seemed chill and nice, very personable, dress code was casual so dress one level above. Lots of hiring going on, but delays in decision making process bc HR process not very streamlined. another round of interviews awaits me.

Interview Details – It was long and pretty much a nightmare. I only ever had to interview once and it was a pretty intense interview, but getting in touch with the right people afterwards was challenging. You can tell there is a bit of a lack of communication between the different groups at vmware.

Negotiation Details – The offer was kind of to good to have to negotiate anything

Interview Details – Recruiter found me at linkedin and give an initial phone interview asking about some overview questions, which went well. Then arranged a phone interview with a engineer. The questions are not difficult, but in details. For example tcpdump command, constructor of derived class in python and so on... I used them in previous project, but cannot remember the details. So failed quickly.

Interview Details – 1 hour technical interview by engineer from Denver

Interview Details – I had applied for some internship positions at vmware but never got any call. However, one day, I got a call from a recruiter to tell me about this position. They had seen my resume on their portal and was interested in some of my work. So we scheduled for my first interview which was 60min. My first interview was easy and generally about writing some code in C and giving complexity of algorithms. I was also asked about some of my projects. I was contacted for setting the second interview just 40min after my first one finished. In my second interview, I was asked to writing codes in C++ and debugging some codes. The second one also was about complexity of some algorithms and some OO concepts.

The interviewers were great. It is still my best experience. They were patient and answered all my questions kindly and they let me think as much as I needed. They also guided me to the right direction. The recruiter also was very helpful and he explained the process very well. He also followed my process until the end.

For passing your interview, just be calm and be prepare to have a 60min talk. Find a good spot and have a pc, a paper, and a pen ready and you'll be fine. Don't be afraid to ask questions and think loud when you're solving a problem.

Negotiation Details – I got accepted for this position but during hiring position, because of my nationality they couldn't proceed since my country was in the restriction countries. As a result, they had to cancel the offer and stop the process.

Interview Details – Applied thru the university's career site. Had two on campus interviews . Was asked to code some questions like implementing merge sort , connecting siblings in BST etc. Had another interview after 2 weeks with questions concerning Linux, DataBases and Java. Was contacted by the HR after 1 week regarding the team information and the offer.
