I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at VMware (Bengaluru) in Oct 2018
Interview
HR called for an interview without sharing JD & interview process . 4 people turned up and they conducted face 2 face for all 15 mins each and selected none. seems its just a formality the position is already closed with an internal referral.

1. difference between jdbc and hibernate

3. oops concepts
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

in total i had 3 rounds, first round was coding which was easy problems. next two rounds were technical interviews which were medium to hard and went in depth C++ concepts.
