Pros

Vmware brand. Reasonable Compensation. Culture is better than other companies in India. Vmware is a good company with some great leaders and engineers. It is a very employee friendly company with good benefits and policies.

Cons

The cons listed here only applies to EUC Desktop Bangalore group - - Fearful environment – No body dares to speak against the Director, If you speak you will be thrown out of the bus. Firings are mandatory twice a year January and July. - Middle-level management is only a message broker from top to bottom. There is no message broker from bottom to top. Middle level management lacks basic management and technical skills. Managers only follow commands from the Director, they are not allowed to voice their opinion, if they speak they will be axed. - Undue favoritisms - based on how much time you spend with the Director, who is completely perception driven and lacks fundamental rationalism. - No process around appraisals. They use some random number generator biased with favouritism. - Non existent HR - Consistently poor ratings in internal employee survey which is far low than vmware standards - HR doesn't exist. - Join any team in vmware but never join EUC Desktop team in Bangalore.

Pros

* Competitive salary * Flexible hours

Cons

* I believe the team and product there used to be great, but it changed into a place where a lot of sub-par people were hired that steer projects in the wrong direction. * It felt big and bureaucratic due to the overhead I had to go through to get things done in the right way.
