VMWare Interview Experience | On-Campus (IITR)

Round 1: Contained MCQ’s and 1 coding question (easy). After this round, approximately 40 students were shortlisted. There were 2 tech Interviews,1 Hr,1 managerial Interview after round 1.

Round 2(tech Interview): They asked 3 coding question.

1. Given two trees tell if they are mirror images of each other or not.
2. Find zig-zag order of Binary tree.
3. Given a string group consecutive characters in the string and output in the form=> first char:last char.

   Ex:

   Input: acebdpqrts
   Output: a:e p:t 

I was not able to understand the question at first but then I asked him outputs of few random test cases and understood the question.

First I gave him nlogn solution which can be solved by simple sorting. But then he told me to further optimize and gave me a hint to use extra space. So I used one frequency array and then the problem became finding consecutive 1’s in the Freq array. He was impressed.

Then he asked me whether I am comfortable in maths. I said yes.

He then asked me 3’s divisibility rule I told him. Then he asked me to prove it. I took a 4 digit example and proved it. He seemed satisfied.

Round 3(Managerial): She asked me few questions here and there trying to make me get comfortable. She asked me about symmetric and asymmetric cryptography. This round went about 30 minutes. It was more of a general conversation she asked me 3 things that describes me. Asked me about gap that I had between my BTech and MTech. Then questions from projects. 

Round 4(HR): It was just a simple discussion about why you chose VMware, salary structure, training period, and various activities happening in VMware.

Round 5(Technical): This round took place around 10 pm I was tired. He asked me 2 coding question.

1. Given a rotated sorted array find its rotating point.
2. Find all permutations of a given string.

They selected 6 students finally. Luckily I was one of them.
