Pros

-EPIC2 Values - Execution Passion Integrity Customers Community - It is the foundation of the company's culture, and everyone believes in them. -Culture - it's hard to put into words the people and the way they are constantly striving to be better overall - always learning, always sharing, always passionate, always about the customer, always :) -Challenging Opportunity - VMware was a bucket list company for me, and it still is. The opportunities are always challenging and rewarding. -People - The People at VMware are Truly Fantastic! They live the EPIC2 values, and they inspire me when lucky enough to hear their stories -Work/Life Balance - the company has put in increased effort to stress this during the pandemic, and it is greatly appreciated. We had an EPIC2 week off at end of 2021 to celebrate the season & holidays with our families.

Cons

- It's a fairly large organization, so at times you may find that different groups are working on the same challenge without knowing others were working on the same. It's now always bad, but it is at times. -There is a saying that the "cream rises to the top", but what about when it's all cream? There are so many talented employees that at times promotions may be delayed since many are qualified for the next step. This can lead to some hurt feelings.
