The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at VMware (Palo Alto, CA) in May 2012
Interview
Telephonic round followed by writing a code for the Chess game. Then an onsite interview consisting of 5 rounds (in which they asked wide variety of questions including stack implementation and core java questions). They are mostly interested in multi-threading, so if you can answer questions on that then you are good. 4 rounds were good interviewers helped when i was stuck. 5th one was not so great the interviewer laughed when i could not answer a question. While leaving i asked if i could use your restroom at this he replied offcourse i know you need that now. Good luck with the managers!

Other Software QA Engineer interview reviews for VMware
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at VMware (Pune) in June 2017
Interview
I had given lot many interview in my career, But I had the worst experience with the experienced panelist. All junior level employee asked good questions and shown interest while taking interview, but senior staff showed their attitude even in interview. (No interest , looking here and there , laughing on answers, very much unprofessional ).
In interview No Pen, No marker Nothing.
I've Given 7 Round total 5 Technical 2 Manager
Recruiter asked to come at 10. I've reached at 10 AM sharp and need to wait for 1 hour, no one was aware that there is interview scheduled for me.
same day I've given 5 rounds till 6:30 PM (Two more round on another day), No lunch arrangement from VMWARE and even I had to pay 100/- for parking. :p
Not a single question asked on networking and I got the feedback that my networking knowledge is not much strong so they are going with other candidate
Overall frustrating experience.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at VMware (Bengaluru)
Interview
It went through smoothly. One round telephonic was technical. This was followed by two rounds of technical F2F discussions. Finally, there was a managerial round. The technical interviews went well - mostly expected questions. Some programs to be written (Binary tree traversal, linked list, string matching). Unix internals. But, it took a couple of months to get the offer letter in hand - after I was confirmed selected.

Question 1
Not difficult but a little unexpected. I was asked to design a chess game software. What data structures I would use was asked.
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.
