      A good company that lacks culture, teamwork and continuity

      Pros

      Great virtualization technology that is used by many of the F500 companies. Customers love the technology and are interested in how to leverage it to save their IT costs. Having the customer support and validation was what was exciting about VMware and its products. The Palo Alto campus was a very nice place to work, along with the perks of the unlimited snacks, drinks and coffee.

      Cons

      Lack of culture, teamwork. A lot of the management team was focused on their accomplishments without any acknowledgement of how their teams assisted in these accomplishments.

      VMware's getting there...slowly. Still has a ways to go.

      Pros

      Amazing products. Sharp engineers. Some sharp business folk, product marketing, product management, etc. Great location. Chance to really, really impact how computing is done in the future. VMware is the most important company you've never heard of, on its way to sitting at the table with Intel, Google, and Microsoft.

      Cons

      There's a lot of leftover dead wood from when the company was an acquired backwater. Diane Green kept around a lot of people who were in over their heads (in PR, in field marketing, etc.) and unfortunately, those folks ended up hiring a lot of other folks like them. They are still around. This is changing, slowly, with incompetents being tossed out under the new Maritz regime. However, it's the poor hires that impact company performance at this point, and who frustrate, and block stars from actually getting things done.

      Sad to see changes

      Pros

      Many great coworkers and teams. Good benefits (at the moment) and good pay.

      Cons

      Everything about the company has changed in the last year. The leadership at the top of the chain have mishandled the lead up to this acquisition in nearly every way, and it's so sad to see what was the best job I've ever had turn into a stagnant, bitter environment. There is no transparency, no empathy. They CLAIM to be open, honest, transparent, and people-first. But their actions fly in direct opposition to these values.
