Don't work here

Pros

They pay higher then market rate.

Cons

The reason they pay higher then market rate, is because this is not a good place to work. The amount of politics at this job is outrageous. It is at least 3 times worst then anything you have ever experienced at previous jobs. Management does not support their teams, and will throw any team member under the bus if that is what it takes for the manager to not lose respect.

Pros

not much, but there is free coffee and a nice view onto the irish country side. Good on a resume because other employers know vm is a terrible employer

Cons

You will be promised many things. Managers should not be managers. HR are puppets. You will not get your commissions. VMware does not do IT, VMware does finance and in that concern you are too expensive, so the company will not pay you. Too many matrix. Micro management. Very disappointing experience

Pros

-Few exceptional Engineers & Manager(s) (but rest are pathetic & selfish ) -Exciting Technology & competition -Competitive Pay

Cons

-CPD BU Leader's main priority is to develop/promote Beijing Team leaving rest of the Teams (Paloalto, Bangalore, Sophia) to Hell! -No employee retention -Engineers are treated like Pigs (Extremely sorry to compare with Pigs) No value to personal life. -No work life balance, even after working during weekends, Managers expect engineers not take any comp off for the weekends spent on work. -Too much of Politics. -In-order to promote their level in hierarchy, Sr. Manager(s) hire another manager. -Managers can do anything to elevate their position. Best example-One of the engineer(Sr. MTS) who resignes the company after 1+yr of work in CPD as Lead, gets call back to CPD as Manager.
