I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at VMware (Bengaluru) in May 2015
Interview
The interview process ran more than 60+ days totaling to 8 rounds with 1 face-2-face and all others telephonic from india and US. Most of the question were based on networking(my profile) mostly related to troubleshooting, as the position was for escalation team in NSX. The HR took a week, came back with a verbal offers disclosed all the details. I hd a short notice with current employer, so asked if they will reimburse the short notice. The HR said he needs to get an approval from the hiring manager. This short notice was already informed to HR b4 the start of the interview process. After this there were no mails/call response from HR for over 2 weeks, even after repeated mails/calls to HR. This made me suspicious, as the HR was avoiding. Later HR called and said, they cant reimburse short notice period, and hv to joing within 1 month not they cannot wait for more than 1 month. I asked him if i can talk to the hiring manager, as we came to last stage and i did not want to drop it because of the short notice reimbursement. I even said that am ok to compensate my 1 month earned leaves, left out is 1 month notice and asked to reimburse @least for 1 month short notice. Also HR asked if i hv put my papers based on his verbal offering. hr was very happy when i said that i hv not yet done, as still some points are not yet closed. Hr told he will get back to me. next days hr calls and say due to some business constraints, they cant process on my offer, and apologizes on behalf of VMware and said sorry!. SO the HR took a total U turn after providing verbal offering. I would have not felt more bad, if they hd not given me verbal offer :-(

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at VMware (Bengaluru) in May 2023
Interview
First Round was Design round. Had good interaction and discussion on the design. Second Round was coding. I asked interviewer if he wants me to solve with best time complexity or any. he said you can solve by any method. I choose to solve brute force way. All test cases ran successfully. He said it will take more time complexity so solve in O(n). I though if he wants in O(n) he should have told me earlier when I asked him. Still I solved the problem and all his test cases ran successfully. But still that guy was not satisfied. He said that he will see my problem later on and will think on that. I mean what is this ??? He is not able to find any prob at the moment then he will try himself offline and then he will give feedback . Then they rejected me. I am really disappointed with this.
