Pros

Only pros in vmware is competitive pay for the person who dedicates extra working hours and complete weekends.

Cons

No growth in organization who works well during the working hours Engineers and Managers work only for recognition rather than self learning Inefficient Management to handle team, no team spirit. No personal life, planning for a vacation over week-end?,beware you may be asked to join a customer call while you are driving your car. If denied, growth impacted. No proper planning of your work, because you will not get a chance to. Your interests will not be considered, whether you like the work or not, you have to work as dictated by your manager. Joining vmware ?, beware that you may be fired without a prior notice and with no genuine reason. Frequent organization changes resulting in firings, it is quite common that firings happens 2 times a year.

Pros

Work life balance. Benefits. Compensation. Campus. Spacious offices.

Cons

Poor management at multiple levels which will ultimately destroy this company as it rots the company from the inside and ensures the company capture the best from its people and dampens their drive. Too many folks within mid and senior management who are more focused on their own careers, protecting their own highly comped jobs VS looking out for what is best for the company. If you are a capable person who is motivated to work hard and enjoys building something and working / leading a motivated team - look elsewhere.

Great work but slow promotions

Pros

Good work quality and culture. Get to work with great people of industry changing technology. Emphasis on work-life balance.

Cons

Could be difficult to grow within the organization, the criteria is very team dependant. So a decent guy in a highly competitive team maybe stuck at a level for ages. While in other teams promotions are handed out as lemons.
