I was contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn. Here are all the steps for VMWare interview process that happened. 1. Had a quick 30minutes chat with Recruiter. After the chat the recruiter sent me a HackerRank Link 2. The HackerRank quiz has 4 questions. 1 SQL and 3 Algorithm question. You are not required to solve all 4 but if you solve all 4 the chances are better for next round. 3. After HackerRank submission, recruiter contacted me and arranged a technical Phone Interview. 4.
