Question 1
Was asked to design/explain my design of a distributed resource scheduler (load balancing system).
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at VMware in Feb 2012
Interview
I participated in three separate phone interviews. The interviewers were friendly but not very organized. My interviewers were rescheduled two times after not receiving a call at the confirmed time and date. The interviewers asked mostly questions about work experience, career goals, and relevant coursework, but do your research on the company and their products as well. Have a good understanding of cloud computing and virtualization. Overall, interview was fairly easy and everyone at the company was friendly and helpful.
