I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at VMware (India) in Jan 2021
Contacted by recruiter. - Skill set C/C++/Linux - Phone screen, Interviewer joined late(but no problem) - Interview went for 1+ hour This was 1st round, you will have further rounds if you clear this round
- 1. Detailed project discussion. 2. virtual memory, physical memory. 3. Two Threads executing same function, what happens to variables inside function. 4. longest continuous subsequence (code and execute)

I applied online. I interviewed at VMware (Sunnyvale, CA) in Jan 2021
All interviews conducted virtually including the onsite due to the pandemic. The recruiter was polite and the folks generally nice. I felt that I did well but I never received an offer.
- - give a mathematical formula for a 4 post tower of Hanoi puzzle - code a cache (I did LRU, and then different types of cache management) - data structure for a rabbits family tree and a function to see if two rabbits share a common ancestor - code a 2D (string) grid path thru #'s and .'s to code a "reach the end" method - discuss web services

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at VMware (Bangalore) in Jan 2021
Process consists of 4 rounds. I had 3 rounds with a gap of a week in each. After 3rd round I got a call from HR to ask my notice period. Since my notice period was 3 months, they ghosted me. At least HR should respond with yes or no whether I am selected, rejected or on hold. I dropped several emails to ask for an update, but there isn't any response. My experience with the recruitment process wasn't good.
- Few Technology related technical questions

I applied online. I interviewed at VMware (Palo Alto, CA) in Jan 2021
This was one weird interview process. Never have I experienced an interview where they would ask about the syntax of a particular function. This was not a one off thing, this kept happening for for both the technical interviews. Basically you are not asked what problem you were trying to accomplish, no discussion about the overall picture, design methodology or processes.
- What is the syntax of queueable batch.

I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at VMware (India) in Jan 2021
It was so smooth and a tough to clear technical round . The HR and top department were so friendly . There are a total of 4 rounds to be cleared and it was on an elimination basis. So be well prepared
- How do you handle stress ?

I applied online. I interviewed at VMware (United States)
There was one informational call with the university recruiter. I then moved on to 2 rounds of video interviews via Zoom: the first round was with 2 team members and the final round interview was with the hiring manager.
- Tell me about a time where you had to balance multiple priorities.

The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at VMware (United States)
I have interviewed with VMWARE in the past and my experience has been impeccable. At this moment I had a call schedule with the recruiter for the tanzu inside sales role. Our call was scheduled for a Wednesday, she changed it to Friday without telling me. Then Friday comes she says she is too busy and asked to reschedule it again. We reschedule it for Wednesday and Wednesday comes. She calls at 11am cst on the dot, I’m wrapping up my call. I ended my business call, called her back at 11:01am CST. NO ANSWER. Called back again, and nothing. Then she send an email saying we talked already and I asked if she will not interview me. Then she calls and raises her voice saying she’s too busy and they are prioritizing internal candidates instead. Does not apologize for her miscommunication. Does not interview me. Basically refuses to interview me since they all of a sudden are prioritizing internal candidates. The lesson here is, candidates are human, do not treat them like they’re disposable. Every candidate matters.
- No questions were asked, at all.

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at VMware (India)
Good. Average difficulty. Had multiple rounds of data structures and algorithms to assess the candidates quality. Had an above average package for most of the companies visiting campus. Overall super experience to be going through it.
- Data structures and algorithms. Project related and implementation.

I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at VMware (Germany)
Telefonische Diskussion über meine Erfahrung im VMware Umfeld. Aufgrund von Erfahrung, Historie, Nachweise durch Online Präsenz waren die relevanten Fragen sehr schnell geklärt. Gehaltsdiskussion erst gegen Ende des Gesprächs. Im großen und ganzen ein ordentlich funktionierender Prozess
- Was war ihr größte Herausforderung

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at VMware (United States)
- Unprofessional recruiter and Hiring manager - No response or update regarding the progress - They create and cancel roles as they wish - There is no respect for interviewee's time and effort - After clearing all the rounds (approx. 6) they cancelled the role without intimation - Recruiter doesn't respond to your emails
- - Coding interview on Data structure and algorithms - based on LinkedList and BST - System Design - mostly 3 out 4 expected async and highly available system design - Focus on Data/Storage requirements - Fault tolerance and handling - Overall micro-service development and design experience, challenges and benefits
