I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at VMware (Bellevue, WA) in Jan 2020
Interview
One of the worst interview process I had with VMC team. They had me initially scheduled for a telephonic interview. After the telephonic round, I was called onsite during their hiring event with 1 day notice period. She was super rude and felt like she was randomized and uninterested. Onsite interview consisted of 4 rounds of interview. 3 of the interviewers were knowledgable and nice. The last interviewer was tired and didn't feel interested to do the interview.
After 2 weeks recruiters calls back asking where was I at the interview process and as soon as I mentioned that I have interviews scheduled I was told that they would like to extend an offer and then they went back and forth regarding expectations and finally they put together a compelling offer. I was given an offer expiration date by when I called them to accept the offer and they suddenly ghosted me. They don't answer the calls nor respond to the emails. Thankfully I did not back out of my other offers.

Question 1
Standard Leetcode style questions based on graphs/arrays/trees/dp.
Had a call with the hiring manager who only seemed interested in why I was leaving my previous job and not what I have been working on or my skillset. At the end of the call I didn't seem like that was a good impression and decided not to pursue.
Got the coding round and got rejected though all test cases passed. The recruiter sent a hacker rank directly. Got everything executed but still sent a rejection since they got another candidate for the position
