      Established company in the belt-tightening phase

      Pros

      Work-from-home Work life balance and PTO depends entirely on your manager. Access to lots of training Turtles

      Cons

      Average salary, average benefits. 50-60 hours a week, weekends and holidays when projects are due. ~1-2% yearly raises, no promotions, no equity after hiring. Laysoffs every 9-12 months focusing on highest salaried employees. Constant management churn. Expect a new manager and VP every year and a new reporting group every other year. Training must be done on your own time.

      Good company but highly demotivating work culture

      Member of technical staff

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent compensation, Bonus, Good work life balance. Startup-like work and lot of opportunities to learn, surrounded by deeply knowledgeable co-workers

      Cons

      No/very less hikes. Lot of Randomization at work, no focussed priorities for individual developers, no mentor programs for budding software engineers. Absolutely no care for the career growth and personal development of the employees. Lacks team morale and enthusiastic work environment

      Not Bad But Not Nirvana

      Pros

      Good freedom to get your job done and overall decent benefits compared to industry averages (though as VMware grows benefits continue to get chiseled away). Pay on par with industry average.

      Cons

      VERY long hours, all meetings and calls "critical" and no vacation policy (in U.S. at least). Vacation at VMware means you can be a bit more selective about which calls you join while you're away.....
