I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at VMware in Aug 2016
Interview
I was approached by a recruiter, and shared the background and skill sets. The coding test was held after a week. It was based on Java and fairly an easy question to be completed by 90 mins. The recruiter was very helpful till the initial stage.
casual, difficult, long. recruiter interview, hiring manager interview, pairing engineering exercise, play ping pong, get breakfast, salary discussion, salary negotiation, offer, contract, 6h in total. the process took 2 weeks. All pretty standard
I applied online. I interviewed at VMware (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
It was very friendly and positive. They have an amazing benefits package. I made it thru two rounds of interviews. They followed up with a phone call instead of a rejection letter. It was a positive experience.
