Pros

You have to like working for a large, globally distributed company to work at VMware. We can work around the clock as a team and have the security of a massive company behind us. Small errors won't make or break us because our portfolio is huge. For someone with a family who needs that work/life balance with great benefits, it's a great place to work. Even the pandemic hasn't slowed us down. We're still acquiring companies and encouraged to work from home.

Cons

We can't pivot quickly. This is not your roommate's startup. We can't cultivate the spirit and enthusiasm of a startup. We do our jobs, but there's little passion. Changing tools or processes globally takes an incredible amount of time an effort. If you like agility, this ain't it. ;)
