I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at VMware
Interview
I had four rounds ( 3 India, 1 US) and aced through successfully.
After long wait, recruiter scheduled another 3 rounds, and I bombed the fifth round with the east asian and bang; recruiter silently removed all the remaining invites.
Issue is not with the rejection, but the way rejection are treated. Perhaps a small email from recruiter would have been sufficient.
