      Lots of cliques and infighting. All the liabilities of a start up and an established company.

      Pros

      flexible hours average pay average benefits some ability to move between groups - assuming you can network the move ahead of time still looks good on a resume

      Cons

      vision is gone penny pinching has set in one hour of discussions required per minute of actual work accomplished rules by Excel spreadsheets that govern each fiefdom no reward for loyalty - the longer you stay the more likely you'll wind up on the purge list no training unless its on your own time

      Pros

      You have all the liberty yo express yourself to the management, but the BUCKET system is always preferred. You Know Kannada...u can win hearts.. R&D, GSS are good streams to start..You will Learn a lot.. I know its nice money....BUT NEVER Join the IT at VMware

      Cons

      Its scary.. I have been there for a very long time and everyday its a challenge for survival. The Management is very ruthless and is never employee centric. VMware as a cloud company has a good name, but it has a very bad setup of infrastructure. Things can go hay-wire anytime and engineers never have a permanent fix. Change in IT management gave Several firings within IT and has made life miserable for many employees.

      Pros

      Good pay. Good benefits. The culture is fantastic, but that varies greatly from team to team. Overall it was good until management shifted and started doing a bunch of ridiculous reorganizations.

      Cons

      New management doesn't know or care what customers want. The process is full of cruft. Teams aren't rewarded for exceeding targets, instead they're chastised regularly by executive leadership.
