Zoom interview wasn't anything different from pre-COVID: 1. previous experience - how is it same or different 2. expectations - benchmarking, deadlines, current challenges 3. time to ask questions to sniff out fit

Difficult interview
Application
I applied online. I interviewed at VMware (Londres, Inglaterra) in Apr 2022
Interview
First you have a call with a recruiter where you generally talk about yourself and why you are interested in the company and position. Prepare for multiple questions about VMware. Then I had a call with two directors where they asked me multiple situational questions and at the end I had a call with the VP of the department and I had to do a presentation on something that I'm passionate about.
