Hey VMware employees how did you get hired? I have had several multi month interviews over the past year or two. Each one is multiple interviews only to get rejected at the end. Really wanted to work at this company but the interview process is exhausting.

The new interview process really sorts well for fit as well as skill IMO. What part of the interview are you making it to? Is the drop off point the same each time? Need details to give an informed opinion

Three were final stage, great reviews but they picked another candidate each one was at least a 4 month month process. One was even a call back with the same group, I just don't know if I can mentally handle another 4 months of everything going great until the rejection.

That does sound frustrating. My hiring process was 5 meetings and one month, start to finish for a staff 2 level position. I enjoyed the new hiring process they used and thought it really helped affirm that culturally it would be a good fit.

I’ve never heard of a hiring process taking that long at VMWare. Sounds like some funding wasn’t in place or something of that nature. And/or they already knew who they wanted to hire and strung you along to meet some interviewing quota (think NFL hiring rules).

I've that the COE team is supposed to guide TCS employees on client end. However, I've also heard that as they do not generate any profits, TCS moves them to client side as soon as possible.

Could anyone please share some insights about work at the AI COE at TCS? How's the team and how's overall growth in terms of skills and payscale? Are there any drawbacks of joining AI COE?
