Extreme change in culture

Staff engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive compensation. Fewer levels of management.

Less incentive for innovation. VMware's R&D team exists no more.

Bottom line driven cost cutting

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Stock was soaring, hit a split and has crashed since. But still a good dividend generator. Anyone who works here is incentivised with RSUs and not necessarily top salary.

Cons

No innovation, just aquisition. Ruthless cost cutting may help the business but not necessarily their customers. Basically laying off whole groups in the US and pushing maintenance to India is not a great long term play.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great pay and compensation plan

Cons

CEO is greedy, close minded, old fashioned and stuck in his ways, does not care about the big picture when it comes to people. Very close minded and shallow vision when it comes to emerging technologies. CEO is a very, very shrude business man, which can be detrimental when that sword is pointed internally.
