Pros

- Products are challenging and can be a great learning opportunity if not hampered by a bad manager

Cons

- Unrealistic roadmaps for products, and milestones are almost never met. Morale is hence low all the time especially for testing teams as this creates a lot of rework. -Several vmware products that basically do the same job. Employees and the customers? are as confused with the management's ever changing strategy and consequent re-orgs. - Terrible people management - Promotions are based on personal bias, and new ideas are not appreciated

Pros

There is much to learn as VMW is on the front-lines of business and IT infrastructure transformation.

Cons

Growth has transformed the company to one that is over-bloated. There are too many people in roles that do not produce and the environment is highly political. Career climbing is a dominant dynamic. I predict reductions and reorganizations in the future and a climate that is increasingly tense and where a long-term outlook is very uncertain.
