      Tragic turn from great to horrible

      Pros

      VMware was a great company until recently. They hired some new people and got into the Broadcom acquisition and it all went south - really bad. Pay is still good but that will take a significant hit with Broadcom if the deal ever goes through - in either case VMware will never be the same.

      Cons

      My team is fine. The devs I work with both here and remote are pretty good but there is too much to do and not enough people. Unfortunately I work with the design team doing FED for UI. This team was pretty decent until they changed leadership. There are now several foul and horrendous people full of phony warmth and a lot of meaningless process. Designers are burdened with time wasting UX performances that make things hard for them and this trickles down to us. I am very pro-UX when it brings value but this does not. Even worse are the technical people in this group. Along with being unpleasant, full of misery and sadness that turns everything into an unproductive and non-collegial confrontation, they also are straight up unqualified. I have sat in meetings where these people make embarrassing outright errors. Make sure anything you do has ZERO connection with them or you will work in a backstabbing atmosphere of gloom.

      Pros

      People. Technology. Culture. Values. Vacation.

      Cons

      Process. Acquisition. Systems. Too many cooks.
