I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at VMware
Interview
I had a very bad experience with VMWare recruiters, twice...and both the times it was the same unpleasant experience. They contacted me to interview for a position and I gave them few slots for tech screens. Then they told me that they are not hiring any more and the email was full of spelling errors. The whole experience seemed very unprofessional.

Other Senior Member of Technical Staff Software Engineer interview reviews for VMware
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at VMware (Bengaluru) in Aug 2016
Interview
First, there was an online coding assignment consisting of 2-3 coding problems probing on algorithms and data/structures. For 3 weeks there was no response. Then out of the blue I got a call from the recruiter and said that they are willing to proceed with me. In 2 days my onsite interviews were scheduled. I was called for an onsite consisting of 4 rounds on algorithms/coding/design. The questions needed clear concepts and also knowledge of space/time complexity. The final one by the hiring manager which was more on my expectations from the company.
