I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at VMware
Interview
Got thru HR screen without a problem, and was told that next, I'd be chatting with one person, but no information on who it would be or even what their role was. HR also sent me very clear information about the interview format the next person would follow...however, the next person did not follow that format, so I was caught off-guard and ran out of time going through my portfolio. I got a callback, but the next interview was not a good experience either. Neither of the people I spoke with held the role I was interviewing for, and they didn't seem to know what they were looking for.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me a story about an idea you came up with that became a new product?
A minimum of 3 rapid fire technical rounds with little to no time for breaks in between. Combination of system design and vague - google esq - puzzle questions. Unfriendly interviewers. Arrogant atmosphere.

Question 1
How would you solve traffic congestion on a jam-prone highway?
I applied online. I interviewed at VMware (Denver, CO) in Apr 2021
Interview
Did well through the process, but the recruiter ghosted me after inviting me to the next round. Maybe they made a mistake but the lack of communication is very unprofessional.
