It's not as good as it once was

Pros

2-3 years ago I would've given 5 stars across the board. VMware was very employee oriented. I bragged as often as I could about how happy I was to be a part of such an innovative company with such supportive management. Work/Life balance was a concept I had never heard of and the growth opportunities were limitless.

Cons

Cash flow business model. That's the only thing that seems matters now. Not the years of hard work people have put into that company. Culture and values used to be important. Guess that's just the nature of the beast. They've really grown to embrace the devil that is Corporate America. I think it is safe to say that it won't be getting better any time soon.

Pros

Great name on a resume

Cons

Where to start...no career development, no leadership from management, no opportunity to progress career, company would rather higher outside than bring experienced internal employees into roles. Management is awful under qualified and non existent. Have own agenda and do not care about development
