I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at VMware in Apr 2017
Interview
I applied for the position through referral and interviewed with VmWare. I was called in for a F2F interview to meet with the team, know more about the role and assess how my experience aligned with their expectations. The interview was conversational and went well.
In the next few days, one of the interviewers (a man) messages me (a woman) on social media messenger app to start a series of conversations, followed by messaging me at 1 am in the night to which I did not reply. I chose not to answer to any of his conversations but lost my interest in the position and the company as I found this to be very alarming and unprofessional of any interviewer behaving in this manner.
In addition to this, they took around 3 weeks to tell me that I wasn't a good fit and they are moving ahead with another candidate.
NOTE: Please respect the interview candidate whose interview experience greatly affects how he/she perceives your company.

Question 1
describe your biggest strength and biggest weaknesses
If the company culture is any indication of the character of the people conducting the interview then this is not a place to work; the ego and condescending tone of the interviewer was disrespectful on another level.
