I interned there last summer. The campus is amazingly beautiful, and overall it was a very good experience. They provide housing in San Jose (middle of nowhere, but it's free) for undergrads and masters or Mountain View for some PhD's, and a daily bus shuttle to the campus. Commute is about 45 min each way in traffic from san jose. The work culture is very relaxed and focused on work life balance (at least in the team I was with). Overall I think your experience will probably be most affected by your project and team, so if you're interested in what you're doing it'll probably be great. In my experience they also love hiring interns back if possible, so if you do well on the project you can likely expect a full time offer.

Cool, thanks for your input! Do you happen to remember the exact location of your housing? I'm considering bringing a car so my schedule can be more flexible.

What was the VMware interview like and did VMware come to your campus for a recruiting event?

Two interviews, one week apart from each other. First one was behavioral with my (now) technical manager, and the second one was technical with my (now) mentor. No coding involved whatsoever (was surprised at that), just questions regarding algorithms and how they work. It felt more like an informal chat than a hard-core interview. Definitely a great experience. EDIT: No, I applied online. Recruiter got back me to the very next day.
