Vmware/Storage at Chiquita Brands

No Offer – Interviewed in Charlotte, NC (US) Apr 2012 – Reviewed Apr 03, 2012

Interview Details The position is located in Charlotte,NC , so you have a interview first with the recruiter. The recruiter has only been on the job with the company a month, so he really does not have any details of the position. He is not technical at all, so it leaves you blind-side walking into the interview process. He then schedule you a call with the IT Manager over phone from Texas area. The Manager is not friendly at all, he start the process by calling late for first phone interview. The manager then ask you a couple of questions about your job situation and what your day to day task. The manager seems like he is not excited enough to even be interviewing, he is not a people person at all. I know from the beginning I did not want to go work for a company where the IT Manager has an huge ego. I can imagine if you have any questions about the job, he is not the person to go to for the answer. The interview was boring!!!!

Interview Question – What is your environment like day to day, your day to day operations
How much storage do you have in your environment and what types of systems you are using in your environment
Do you have DR site setup for your environment
How many VM's do you have in your environment, he ask about VMotion alot
How many user do you support
He ask about AD experience

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Cincinnati, OH (US) Jun 2011 – Reviewed Aug 09, 2011

Interview Details I applied online and received an inviation for a phone interview within days. The phone screen occured very quickly and covered the basics of the job and my background. Within a month, I had completed an onsite interview, which consisted of two 1:1 interviews and a 1:2 interview. The company made it easy for me to reach my destination and was flexible in arranging for travel. I received a verbal offer less than two weeks later.
