I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at VMware (Bengaluru) in Feb 2022
Interview
Total number of rounds were 5 First 3 rounds were pure technical with at least 1 coding question in each round(even though the role was DevOps). Timing for each round was 1hr to 1:15hr, with first 30 mins for a coding question and then rest of the time for DevOps role related questions. 4th round was Techno-Managerial with mostly scenario based questions 5th round was HR and salary discussion
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Average level programing and scripting questions. Network troubleshooting commands. Kubernetes Infra management side questions. Some Ansible and Teraform side questions.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at VMware (Sofia, Sofia (city)) in Apr 2023
Interview
It was quite slow, had several interviews with them. I had two technical interviews, both had technical discussion and 2 tasks per interview. Managed to complete both and the interviews all went great, however they offered me 4-5k gross salary per month which is preposterous for their requirements and the seniority of the position. When the recruiter first contacted me we had a discussion regarding the range for the position and the recruiter lied to me as their offer was outside of the discussed range.

I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at VMware in Aug 2021
Interview
To be frank, the impression I got of VMware was a company with serious dysfunction, zero accountability, and a total lack of professionalism.
I had a 1st round phone screen with a recruiter based out of Australia who seemed pained to be there.
After the phone screen, I was asked to meet with a Staff Engineer based out of Atlanta for one hour. I took an hour out of my work day to show up to the zoom and after 5 minutes, nobody had shown up.
After 15 minutes, I emailed the recruiter. After 40 minutes and no response from the recruiter, I realized VMware has no regard for other peoples' time.
I ended up hearing back the next day from the recruiter and got some excuse and a request to reschedule. I provided more of my availability and then never heard back. What a waste.
