Pros

good benefits, onsite gym and yoga classes, company events, seminars

Cons

few main concerns I had with during my tenure 1. women outnumbered and inappropriate jokes at work places to make women feel uncomfortable. HR advises you to approach the person and tell them to not make inappropriate comments instead of doing something themselves 2. managers and co-workers are hard on young parents. meetings start 6:30-7 am in the morning, then you need to be at work during the day and join meetings again at night till 9:30-10pm. managers give you a hard time if you leave at 5 and tell them you need to pick the kids 3. company talks a lot about ethics and honesty but HR does nothing to implement it. It's all lip service 4. IT org is highly political with very little meritocracy. If you do well in a toady environment, this is the right place for you.

Pros

VMware has an incredible group of talented employees. The colleagues I work with are the number one reason I have stayed to date. Everyone is very supportive of each other and always willing to help. Excellent product suites with tons of marketing support, case studies, etc...and a track record of success for credibility...makes it straightforward to sell

Cons

only able to speak to the public sector side of things.....leadership is greatly lacking....several 'managers' who check off boxes but no one who truly provides inspiration .... management layer has no energy and is non existent on being able to motivate and bring teams together.

Pros

This company has a good history. It has a history of hiring strong engineers and treating their employees well.

Cons

VMware's core product is being made less relevant by cloud computing. They will need to choose their strategy very carefully if they want to continue to be successful.
