I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at VMware (Atlanta, GA) in Feb 2016
Interview
Interviewed with two sales managers. Fairly straightforward and base level with standard behavioral questions and introduction about myself. They also gave a tour of the office and introduced me to some of the sales staff that I might be working with.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at VMware in Dec 2023
Interview
I applied for an open position, and had a positive initial conversation with a recruiter, but then received no further communication. They inquired about whether I knew anyone within the company. From my observation, the team may not be comprised of the most diligent or intelligent workers, and the culture appears to have a "I scratch your back" mentality.The downfall of Vmware in the recent years is a good example of this, numbers never lie.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Background , who I knew in their organisation already.
One of the worst interviews I've had. The recruiter was rude, disrespectful, pushy in getting confidential info from me. It says a lot about this company. Glad didn't join the company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How much was your quota, how much revenue you generated from each specific account (they forced you to name the names and provide actual numbers for each), that represent what percentage of the revenue growth from this account and that account... They shouldn't have asked such quesetions.
I had to follow up repeatedly, the entire process of 3 interviews took 1.5 months and still did not get the role. The "talent acquisition" folk seem more like an admin role arranging meetings only.
