I applied online. I interviewed at VMware in Jan 2020
Interview
It started with a phone interview with the Talent Acquisition Coordinator, then a Zoom call with the Social Media Manager, then another Zoom call with the Senior Manager of Talent Acquisition. I then had one last Zoom interview with the Global Employment Brand Manager.
By the end, they told me it had come down to me and one other person and although I was qualified and had a great experience, they told me I did not get the position due to the other person having a few extra skills that although were not listed on the job description, was the only difference between us.
They told me they appreciated my time and that if I ever saw any other position I was interested in on their website to email them and they would make sure to forward the positive notes from my interviews to the hiring manager.
The HR didn't reply to me after the interviews. I had sent couple of emails to check whether I had cleared the interview. No answer. I wonder why do reputed companies like VMware do that. A no is important. The interviews themselves were good. I really liked the employees who took the interviews. They were patient and understanding.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at VMware (Cork) in Jan 2018
Interview
the interviews were straight forward and fair, test my knowledge with cloud solutions, db, vsphere, virtualization, k8s, networking, storage and many other multiple technologies and software products relevant to this position
