Pros

Industry leader in lot of areas so can lot of people dont have too much stress In lots of Enterprise areas so options are good

Cons

Management is terrible in general. TOO Many slackers and because company is doing well these idiots can hide. Decision making process is either non existent or no one takes responsibility.

Pros

Technology is great, if you are in a technical roll lots of opportunities to contribute and improve your skills. work life balance is good and the campus is wonderful place to work, VMware has invested a lot in real estate, but telecommuting is an option when needed .

Cons

VMware's grip is slipping as the number 1 player in this space. Executive leadership's vision is not working and competitors are gaining ground. Company is trying to get on track but slow to move and make changes with impact. Resources are always tight, anything from equipment to travel is hard to get approved, recurring hiring and travel stops EMC owns a majority of VMware and has had lackluster performance for a while, pressure from outside group to sell or split-up federation, VMware is getting sucked into this lackluster performance cycle as well under current CEO.

Pros

Sadly there is a lot of this that is starting to run out in the company. The benefits are nice, but not what they used to be.

Cons

The biggest issue with the company right now is they would rather higher from outside to prominent positions instead of promoting loyal, highly qualified employees because of archaic policies.
