VMware reviews

No one in sales is making real money. $4million annual quotas and people aren't even making six figures? Not even 1% of sales?? That's just insulting. Micromanagement straight from the Dell playbook - go figure, since most of their Austin managers and employees were poached from Dell. Success (which means pay) depends mostly on who you suck up to in management and therefore what territory they give you. Work/life balance and vacation policy are a joke. Frat bro / sorority sister culture. Office is in the middle of 360, so you're going to be stuck in traffic an hour a day unless you live in Westlake or downtown. Clearly a haves and have-nots comparison between Austin and the Palo Alto campus. They even started whittling down our choice of snacks from the break room, meanwhile Palo Alto has a made-to-order cafeteria with over 10 kinds of food. No onsite cafeteria, and the food trucks sometimes just don't show up.

Politics. Horrendously clueless upper management. Rewards for politics, layoffs for hard work. Rare promotions for qualified contributors, regular promotions for rear-kissers. Hopeless levels of recognition. Terrible disrespect for work-life balance and employees' time in general.
