Pros

Technology driven yet strategically focused. Large company but still retains a startup vibe/culture. The best campus in the valley, hands down. VMware promotes from within.

Cons

We are not as "sexy" a company as some of our competitors (Google, Amazon, and even Microsoft). As with most enterprise software companies, very long product cycles. Dependencies on the platform and/or other products.

Pros

Great technology, progressive company, well established/stable, excellent reputation for quality products and staff. Nice facilities. It's fun working on big, real world problems.

Cons

VMware is moving into defensive position to protect market their market share, and this is changing the stance the company is taking in the market as well as how they are operating. This is a natural position for a company like VMware that dominates their market, but is not what I was looking for.

Pros

Friendly smart people to work with. Emphasis on philanthropy and collaboration. Flexible schedule, Unlimited vacation time. They feed you!

Cons

You work hard, and some times a lot of hours at times, which can be tough on work-life balance. Despite being 15 years old, it feels like a startup sometimes.
