I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at VMware (Bengaluru)
Interview
Interview process is too long, takes minimum of 7 days to communicate the result. They don't consider external candidates, either we should be contract employee or we should have high level referrence to attend the interview. Not sure what is the judgement criteria, candidates will be rejected soon. They don't value candidates designation or experience. They always offer lower designation than the current one. Hope it's Vmware habit to post job opening in linkedin and other social site and don't really short list outsider. Team lead and above opening for finance / sales process is very less, please go through candidate profile and acheivements completely before rejecting the candidates.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why are you applying for the same role and not trying for next level in vmware or any other organisation?
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at VMware (New York, NY) in Sept 2018
Interview
One of the worst I have ever had. They made me interview with many people back to back over a 2 week span and then total silence forever. I never even received a note that I didn't get the job. Ghosting is not acceptable from any company, especially one as big as Vmware.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at VMware (Bengaluru) in Nov 2013
Interview
It was very smooth and the HR made sure that the timing was as per my convenience. The hiring managers also acknowledged my request for an extended date to join as I wanted a 2 week gap before i joined. If you negotiate well then you may also get a good packed.
