VMware·Product Manager·Onsite - System Design / Architecture

Jun 2026
VMware PM interview with a system design question focused on building a file storage and sharing platform. Pretty open-ended, which I wasn't fully prepared for.
  • How would you design an online file storage and sharing platform?

“I started with user personas and worked toward core features, but I spent way too long on the sharing permissions model and kind of lost the thread on scalability.”

VMware·Software Engineer·Technical Phone Screen

May 2026
VMware software engineer interview with a pretty unusual algorithmic problem. Not your typical sliding window question, there's a recursive reduction twist that took me a minute to fully wrap my head around.
  • Given an array, slide a window of size 3 across it and sum each window to produce a new array. Repeat this process on the new array until only a single number remains. Return that number.

“Took me longer than it should have to realize this is just repeated reduction, not a one-pass thing.”
