      Pros

      VMware has cutting edge technology and is a great company to have on the resume. Unfortunately, that's where the pros end.

      Cons

      Career advancement is non-existent. Management is clueless. Did I mention that career advancement is non-existent? :)

      Pros

      VMware still employs some of the best brains in the computer industry. Many have left over the last one year. Of the ones who remain, their company makes VMware a worthwhile place to stay back and learn.

      Cons

      Management has changed over the past two years. As a start-up and as a small company, VMware fostered an environment of growth, exchange of ideas and innovation. This, along with an able and technologically sound leadership, had driven VMware to grow from a small start-up to a technologically rich company. The current management has, over time, engendered an opaque management system, devoid of transparency and is "process oriented". This unfortunately is hindering engineering-driven technological innovation and growth and implementation of new ideas, which in the past, have propelled VMware to success. The current management is resting on the laurels of past success without giving due credit to past management systems and the culture of openness of thought between employees and management. Other points: * increasing politics in middle management * increasing "process oriented" management * no formal promotion and career growth policies * dwindling morale amongst employees * loss of faith in management
