Was asked a set of generic questions, such as what do you know about the company. The interviewer was very friendly during the process and made me feel comfortable during the process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked about any past projects I have worked on.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at VMware in Jan 2021
Interview
There was no clarity in the position I was being hired for. Had applied for Staff engineer and not sure why was being considered for senior software engineer.
The rounds went fine, but it took them 7 rounds of interviews to be ruled out for not having same technical backgrounds.

Question 1
1. Sort 0s and 1s in array

3. Spiral matrix rotation
4. Design Round for current job
5. Current architecture of the job
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at VMware (Bengaluru) in Aug 2020
Interview
Interview taken virtually. Horrible experience
The interview was virtual as COVID had hit at the time.
I met with a Sr. Recruiter. The recruiter shared their screen with me to review a resume, but I ended up viewing ping on the teams chat that a candidate shouldn't have to see. The interviewer then went on to take another call without going on mute and I had to hear the whole conversation, again, not something a candidate needs to hear. The interviewer was not mindful that they were not on mute. Interviewer kept saying "Blah Blah Blah" in the interview, quite literally.
It also shows how NOT serious they were about taking the interview. It was a bad experience. I did not get an offer but was grateful because I wouldn't want to work in team like this that had zero consideration for candidate experience.
They did not even come back with the updates either on phone or email, so assumed was not shortlisted.
