I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at VMware (Palo Alto, CA) in Aug 2013
Interview
Recruiter was very professional in her approach all through the process.
The biggest turn-off for me was the attitude of the hiring manager. He lacked the basic values, awareness and interpersonal skills needed to interact with experienced professionals, and failed to address important questions on the project and what the team is looking for.
