Pros

Very generous with benefits and salary. Bonuses are always paid out well above target. The campus is nice. If you are lucky enough to dodge the (many) bad managers, the rest are great.

Cons

It's a kind of working retirement. So many people drag their feet and don't do any work. Everyone estimates their work will take years, then goldbricks the whole time. Most of the management is a mess. Tons of politics, tons of meetings just to be seen, a lot of territorial fights. People who fail are often rewarded. There is no accountability. Surprisingly since VMware is all about improving IT, the internal IT is comedically terrible.

Pros

Good products, marketable experience, training opportunities with financial support, good benefits (health insurance, pension, share discount), decent vacation allowance, nice work environment with free coffee, snacks, etc. The work is pretty enjoyable too although maybe not for everyone. I like problem solving and the work is not monotonous by any means.

Cons

It's hard work. There is a constant stream of cases being assigned and it can be a bit overwhelming, especially when you're starting out. Also, too much focus on CSATs and DSATs. Customer satisfaction is important of course but some customers are just unreasonable.
