      Pros

      Work in some groups is pretty leading edge. Lots of smart people. Flexibility on work hours and working from home. Pleasant physical work environment.

      Cons

      Work in some groups is not so leading edge. Lots of hard-to-evolve software lying around. Development and introduction of tools to help developers get their jobs done has stagnated somewhat. Sometimes developers with not such terrific skills make choices that should have been (but weren't) made under the supervision or review of developers with better skills.

      Good people who need leadership, not 'metrics based' management...

      Pros

      VMware has great technology, culture, and individuals contributors. There is a good amount of training and focus on developing your career, work life balance, great benefits. Actual compensation is below market.

      Cons

      The sales model is a partner / reseller model. However, the sales organization does not do enough to make their partners successful. There are too many former Dell people in middle management in the Sales organization. They are taking the positive, value-based selling approach the company was built on to be purely focused call metrics. Also, there is very little opportunity to move up in the organization.
