I applied online. I interviewed at VMware (Palo Alto, CA) in Jan 2021
Interview
This was one weird interview process. Never have I experienced an interview where they would ask about the syntax of a particular function. This was not a one off thing, this kept happening for for both the technical interviews. Basically you are not asked what problem you were trying to accomplish, no discussion about the overall picture, design methodology or processes.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at VMware in Jan 2021

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Detailed project discussion.
2. virtual memory, physical memory.
3. Two Threads executing same function, what happens to variables inside function.
4. longest continuous subsequence (code and execute)
The interview was a basic tree traversal question with a little bit of an oop twist. There was a little bit of follow-up but the majority of the interview was this one question.
