Pros

Great salary, great benefits (401k, well-being reimbursements, team outings, ESPP), great potential for bonuses depending on your job area. Team probably matters the most for your individual experience. My team is wonderful, encourages finding learning/growth opportunities, and takes advantage of the unlimited PTO. VMware encourages good work/life balance, taking time off, taking holidays, etc, although plenty of employees work more than 40 hours/week by choice.

Cons

Feels like a big company and it just keeps growing. Because of this there's a lot of re-orgs and management changes. Now there's talk of being acquired which could be a disaster.

Pros

Freedom to work where you want, you are not obligated to work in an on-premises office. You can have control over your customer appointments, there is no inbound calls

Cons

The Workspace ONE Global support organization is disfunctional. Broken processes, and failure to listen to employee suggestions on how to change. They expect you to put every case first in line and threaten escalations to C suite when you cannot. The burn out happens fast with 30 plus tickets coming in each week. There is a large failure to share knowledge from Development and project management owners to support. There is a large lack of documented processes to troubleshoot the product. Take your best educated guess approach is not ideal. Compensation is the lowest in the Organization, especially when the Organization preaches how support is the backbone. They hire NCG's and call it a service to new grads to get experience, but the reality is they do the NCG program for cheap labor.

Pros

Competitive compensation, provides time to learn new emerging material on quarterly basis, is established in the market and acquisitions continue to drive great customer discussions.

Cons

Leadership has left the building! Many other roles filled with either ex-dell employees or diversity candidates that do not understand VMware. Major gaps in Product QA and ability to support customers in timely fashion. VMware's deal management team is terrible!
