Pros

Good exposure to a wide range of Technical issues. Very good for improving your technical skills. Good team work and work colleagues. Holidays good, canteen very good and some nice perks from time to time.

Cons

very busy !! VMware like to portray that the customer always come first but it seems that stats are all that matters to management. Training is inadequate and almost not existent, usually you are too busy to go on training when it does come around. Opportunities are very limited there and it seems to be the culture in VMware that if you want to further your career you have to leave the company and this is a shame !!

Pros

Positive work environment. Plethora of training and product materials available. Sales Managers are available for questions and very involved but do not micro manage. Employees get a long and support each other. Lots of potential for growth and with recent acquisition of VMware things are booming more than ever. Compensation plan for my position has drastically improved since I first started.

Cons

I'm not afraid of hard work, staying late, or coming in early, however I find myself sometimes obligated to stay longer even though I have finished all of my work for the day.

Pros

Fantastic technology, smart & seasoned exec team, and unprecedented growth potential thanks to the VMware acquisition.

Cons

Salespeople with average technical aptitude will be left behind. Those who have achieved success by relying on a sales engineer to handle the bits and bytes will have to morph their style. 9-5ers need not apply - the culture is hard charging and competitive. (only a con if that's not what you like)
