I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at VMware (New York, NY) in Apr 2022
Interview
The HR team was very responsive. After exchanging a few emails, they scheduled an initial coding interview with the team's lead developer. The developer was very skilled in driving the interview, and explaining the coding exercise.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked for an algorithm to minimize the run-time complexity for a system with a high query throughput.
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

Hackerrank questions: String manipulation, what is a middleware
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.
