I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at VMware (Palo Alto, CA) in Mar 2020
Interview
I recently interviewed for the Colleague Support Engineer role at VMware in the Bay Area. The interview process took about 4 weeks and had 3 rounds. First-round was a phone call with the recruiter for 30 minutes. The second round was a 45 minutes call with the hiring manager. The last round was 2 video calls with team members.
Even though I didn't get this an offer for this role, my overall experience was very positive so I wanted to write a review. William Thomas, the recruiter for this role made the entire process very pleasant and organized. He went above and beyond to update me and keep me in the loop during the entire process.
After hearing the news that I did not get the position, William personally scheduled time to provide me feedback over the phone. The gesture highlighted the culture of VMware and how much they care about the candidates and their employees.
It was one of the best experiences I have had during an interview. I will definitely try to apply again in the future.
