Pros

Cutting edge products that are top rated in the industry. Relatively good collaboration still exists between departments/units on common goals and not silo approach.

Cons

Short sighted financial decisions on short term outcomes vs longer term longevity, to approach greatness vs competitive or average even. Far too much globalization of workforce for cost cutting vs ensuring equity in skill and expertise globally.

Pros

At Vmware there is a great company culture, everybody is really welcoming and they instil a great deal of confidence in each and every employee they hire

Cons

The actual price of the products/services sold by VMWare are considered very high within the industry. Amazon and Microsoft are two of the main competitors and their sheer size means they can charge less. Even if the technology at VMWare is considered better - Price dominates the minds of management when making a decision to purchase VMW products.
