I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at VMware
Interview
Initial phone interview. I knew this was just a phone screen. Since they bothered to call me, i guess they felt I was worth talking to. However, this phone screen was apparently very valuable to them instead of meeting in person or at least looking optimistically at an applicant's potential for learning on the job. IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH LEARNING A FEW THINGS ON THE JOB?

Question 1
Disgusting phone interview. I didn't get further than that. Job was somewhat low-level and my resume and email clearly stated what I knew. Instead, the interviewer (and would-be manager) headed me off with questions well beyond that. I didn't mind, given that I can learn, but he apparently didn't think so - literally chuckling at me over the phone towards the end of the interview. He apparently couldn't understand that a guy can learn. Instead he treated the work as some unattainable black art, evidently NOT even wishing to see me in person. What, they don't have training materials at VMware? So judgemental and sickening. I was looking forward to working there too, but my hopes were completely dashed by this crummy behavior - of laughing at a job applicant. I wonder how many potentially good employees this company destroyed. A despicable job interview, probably meant to hire someone overseas or something.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at VMware (Atlanta, GA) in Feb 2015
Interview
The interviewer was polite and professional, the first question she asked was the "tell me about yourself" question. Then she asked me to elaborate on a situation when I worked with other people. I was nervous at first so I spoke really fast and she could tell that I was nervous. I answered all the technical question(even though I'm a non-CS major) correctly and thought I did well by showing that I am familiar with and interested in this industry, don't really know why they didn't let me go in the second round.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at VMware (Denver, CO) in Mar 2012
Interview
One phone interview by recruiter, then two different people (networking specialist and a storage specialist) that conducted phone interviews with technical questions (mostly non-VMWare related). Finally I had one in-person interview where I met with my future manager and some technical lead engineers which all asked questions regarding customer interactions, difficult technical situations and time management.
