Pros

People are great. My management team is down-to-earth, supportive and allows their team to provide ideas and drive projects with minimal supervision. Benefits, pay, work-life balance and opportunities are also great. Lots of resources to keep moving in your career and very transparent in many areas

Cons

Work in some BUs can be awfully slow due to the existing processes and bottle necks. Politics above Sr Directors is ridiculous at times. There is a dysfunctional ecosystem among leadership in different teams. The acquisition is affecting morale and the lack of communication down to us is not helping. There is no guarantee that we will get to stay and information related to how VMware aligns to Broadcom’s vision is not clear. I am frustrated that finally I got to join a great company recently and now facing an imminent layoff period.

Pros

Not much left at this point, but for what its worth: Still above average pay. Work from Home in some cases. Still lots of intelligent people left in the team.

Cons

Management is not transparent. No sense of direction, all procedures and guidelines are out the window. Everyone is trying to just sell something at all costs, even if by lying to the customers. Cant hide the fact that we are not who we were or who we say we are. Lots of marketing and talk around inclusion and equality but in practice, certain people and groups are given priority over others.
