The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at VMware in Jan 2012
Interview
HR contacted me and gave a homework to solve (coding, three problems). Another e-mail after a couple of days later was sent to me to set up a phone interview. The problem was "converting from string to integer". It went well. A couple of days later, another e-mail and set up the second interview (linked list problem). I solved the problem, but I received the e-mail saying not best match.
casual, difficult, long. recruiter interview, hiring manager interview, pairing engineering exercise, play ping pong, get breakfast, salary discussion, salary negotiation, offer, contract, 6h in total. the process took 2 weeks. All pretty standard
I applied online. I interviewed at VMware (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me about myself and my experience. Asked if I knew who they were
The interview was good but it was a bit difficult. There were one written programming round and two online coding rounds There were multiple coding rounds. The programming language asked was core java.
