Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 6 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en VMware (Londres, Inglaterra) en sep 2015
Entrevista
The whole end to end interview process consisted of three telephone interviews, two of which were with VMware recruitment, going over general background, technical expertise etc. and then a third directly with the hiring manager who went over the role, quizzed me on my knowledge of the company and how I would benefit VMware and how my skills would make me good at the role etc. The telephone interviews with the recruitment team were around thirty minutes each and the telephone interview with the hiring manager was 90 minutes. Following those I was then invited to a formal face to face interview which was completed in two stages; a 1:1 and then a panel, including the hiring manager. The total face to face interview time was just over two hours, with each stage taking around 50% of the time. This covered past expereinces in more detail, low level details around what my speciifc involvement was and what my responsibilities had been, as well as descriing problems experienced and how I had successfully resolved them. Thorough is the word I would use!

1. Recruiter call 2. First round with hiring manager 3. Second round with director and a member of another team The interview process was concise and efficient. VMware talent team kept me in the loop at all times.

Pregunta 1
First interview with the hiring manager - situational/behavioral questions; what challenges I have faced, how I dealt with specific situations, and more Second interview with the director - random questions and one technical question (the director asked to do role play as a TAM member and asked how I'd handle a version update)
The first question of my second interview was more of a statement than a question. The director shared his concern about my cultural fit because of my background (from the US) and asked me how I would overcome the cultural difference. I felt the first question revealed how he judged me before the interview, and it was tough trying to turn the table.

I had three one- hour interviews before i got offered a job, within around 2 weeks. In one I had to give a short presentation which required around half an hour of preparation in advance.
Me postulé en línea. Acudí a una entrevista en VMware (Ámsterdam) en sep 2022
Entrevista
Applied via VMware Careers webpage and got a reply from Talent Acquisition person in 1 business week.
In the job description, only English was required (apart from technical skills) and I was asked if I speak the local language fluently.
Unfortunately, I recently moved from another country and that was a reason for rejection.
To recap:
> Don't mention the local language in the job description
> Job description itself in English (obviously)
>> Require the potential candidate to be fluent in local language by default
