Great Place to Work - if You're Director or Above

Pros

Smart people, great technology, beautiful campus, good benefits.

Cons

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.
