I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at VMware (Bengaluru) in Jun 2020
Interview
The interview process in VMware is damn slow. They do not revert on update on time even in 5-6 days like they mention in their interview invite email.
It consisted of 4 rounds-
1st Round- Technical round
2nd Round- Live programming on hackerrank
3rd Round- Managerial round which is more of 80% technical
4th Round- HR(where I did not go)
Every round is an elimination round usually like other companies. The HR reverts after a long break, seems like they have gone on a vacation.
HRs being very unprofessional supported by the instance that after the 3rd round, they did not revert in 8 days, then I called up. They said my profile is put on hold and they would update soon. But they failed to update SOON. So I again checked with them. They said I am likely rejected.
I believe if they had already rejected the candidate, then what's wrong in updating him/her. Never expected such unprofessional attitude from VMware.
From then onwards, I took pledge to never ever even apply to this company.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at VMware (Boston, MA) in Jun 2020
Interview
Interview process was a bit chaotic and disjointed. Received an email from HR saying they were moving on with other candidates and then a few days later an email from the hiring mgr to say that they would like to have me talk to other folks. The right hand didn't seem to know what the left hand was doing.
