A Changing Corporate Vibe

Pros

Competitive salary Great benefit package Encourages employees to give back to their community Often flexible with working from home

Cons

Over the past few years, the Cisco culture has crept into VMware and has altered the vibe from that of an energetic start up to a predictable, contractor abusing, hiring freeze having, slave-to-the-shareholder kind of company. Additionally, VMW doesn't do a great job of cultivating their talent. Instead, they have begun to hire more outside talent, rather than developing and promoting existing folks.

Because it's getting so big, it's getting more bureaucratic
