Pros

Work-life balance: I would say, all you will get healthy work-life balance, facilitated by flexible working hours and generous time-off policies. The company also provided perks such as paid time off for volunteering and wellness allowances. Flexible and remote work: The company was an early adopter of flexible work, with many employees having options for fully remote or hybrid arrangements. This was part of a larger "Future of Work" initiative, allowing employees to choose a work location that best suited their personal and professional goals. Strong learning and development culture: VMware was known for providing ample opportunities for professional growth. It offered resources for career development, skill enhancement, and learning new technologies, which was highly valued by technical staff. Note: Above points about VMWare and I am not sure after Broadcom acquisition.

Cons

I can't say cons as I worked very less duration
