I applied online. I interviewed at VMware (Bengaluru)
Interview
1st round will be written test where they will give 10 programs to write and 5 quantitative aptitude.
Please find the below programs out of 10 i remember this much. Quantitative will be easy
-- Thread app to display even -- one thread, odd numbers -- second thread
-- Two dimensional array to find the sum of adjacent numbers
---iImplement stack using two queues - air watch
-- Randomize a given array , change the order and print in a random fashion -
--Give two names check weather the two are equivalent
i.e. MARY, and ARMY are equivalent
So if we pass s1 = MARY
s2 = ARMY
Then the result should be true else false
These are called anagrams
--- Given a string ARMY list all possible equivalent string i.e. mary,army,mayr etc….. (Permutation and combination) i.e. list of all anagrams of given words
--Random class in C# important
Quantitative aptitue:
1) Total no of legs horse and hens given no.. of heads
2) Lake problem. In how many days the patch of lilies get doubled -
3) Page no problem -- Search in google - given nth page no.
Other 2 questions were simple
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at VMware (Bengaluru) in Aug 2014
Interview
Got a call from VMware Bangalore.
Interview got scheduled, asked to keep laptop with internet along.
In my case:
Interviewer is not much interested in my previous role.
He directly jumped to interviewing.
He is much interested in the logical and analytic questions.
Interviewer may ask to write one or two programs online (collabedit or something).

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at VMware (Palo Alto, CA) in Jun 2010
Interview
Two Phone interviews followed by detailed technical interview in person. The interview was typical of top technical companies. Unlike google or facebook who dwell only on CS fundamentals, here they also go in depth on domain knowledge. Some focused primarily on coding questions. Many interviews were focused on what I have done and if I could provide details of my current work and broader picture of technologies used.
