VMware reviews

VPs and Directors are dictatorial and arrogant. Revolving door at the VP level and endless re-orgs - new executives bring their entourages with them. They clog middle management and dilute the culture. If you have ideas, experience, and career ambitions you will be frustrated at VMware. Unless you sit at the Director-level or above, you can't get involved in discussions that affect your future. You will be told what to do - and if you don't like it, you will have to find another job.

The pay is pretty terrible. They consistently low-ball their employees, and I'm pretty sure because of the career path I took that I was making about half of what the other folks in my department were. I doubled my salary by taking my experience elsewhere. Also, pretty much everything is always an emergency, and there is little thought given to trying to prevent small issues from ballooning into major problems.
