Questions d'entretien chez VMware

The interview was of 2 rounds one some personal questions and there was a business presentation on a topic given by them it was a bit difficult as they were expecting to do a presentation in 1 day with analysis and real stats

First interview is the HR screening with recruiter, no particular technical talk required Second interview is the technical interview with team engineers Third interview is the managerial interview with director/vp level personnels

Interviewer was friendly and gave hints when candidates got stuck. Prepare for medium and hard problems on the website leet code and you will be fine. Try to understand the concept rather than rote learning the solution

Panel is good and supporting throughout the process. the have 2 coding round and1 Low level and 1 high level system design round. Final is Behavioral round, where they put you in customer facing situation

6 interviews, 1 technical involving a test on the program you would be using at work, 5 others speaking with different managers about work accomplishments, examples and challenges. Also the chance to ask them your questions as well.

It was very friendly and positive. They have an amazing benefits package. I made it thru two rounds of interviews. They followed up with a phone call instead of a rejection letter. It was a positive experience.

few months long, a couple of or few interviews with different team members, very tough technical tests, but cozy and supportive atmosphere. Long pause between the different steps of the hiring process.

This was the second time that I interviewed at VMware. I am well suited to conclude that VMware has some of the worst people working over there. I have honestly never faced such interviewers in my career and I have recently interviewed at many places. Just like the first time, this time as well the interviewer assigned to me for the first round had a very bad behavior. He joined late, stated that he has experience in only Java even though the profile is of C#, .Net. The first round was supposed to be around LLD, OOPs, problem solving etc but he asked me a DSA question(DSA is round 2). I was able to come up with the approach but only because I had to ask the interviewer to "let me think" because he constantly kept talking. He clearly had no experience or training or skill to interview people. Once I somehow managed to speak and tell the approach, he told me to choose any preferred language and I went with C++ as he had mentioned he anyway has no experience of C#. Instead of letting me code the solution, this guy started arguing with me about the syntax of C++. I had to teach him each single keyword, line, why or why not because my solution was not a word by word copy of the GFG solution he was referring. He kept frustrating me with stupid asks: Why am I not writing a comparator(because it is not needed?) After a while, it got so exhausting to tolerate him that I requested to quit and end the interview within 25 mins. I requested for a reschedule and he showed the worst behavior after this. Even though he was the one who was clearly the problem from the onset, he started making absurd remarks because his ego got hurt when I mentioned that I lost my thought process due to so much unreasonable and unnecessary adamant interruptions around C++ etc. He blabbered that he did not know that C++ does not require initialization via "new" keyword or priority queue etc. So how is it the candidate's problem? We are here to get a job for which we prepare for days. He abruptly cut the call after saying something very insensitive. I immediately mailed the recruiter to let him know what transpired but due to recent acquisition of VMware by Broadcom, I am not sure if there will be another interview or what happens next. In any case, please train your interviewers. Nobody deserves to be treated so poorly. There is no need for any arrogance. It is just an interview and we are also looking for good colleagues to work with. Marking it difficult because the interviewer was extremely difficult.

Lengthy. I had 8 interview rounds which for me was excessive. If a company needs 8 interviews to take a hiring decision, how convoluted could they be when it comes to taking business decisions?

Easy, and not stressful, i got to meet the people i will be working for and built great relationships with them. overall, a positive experience. I learned quiet a bit about the sales process and the technology
