      Managed by fear, and retaliated against when saying no

      Pros

      VMware has great cutting edge and leading technology. It has bright and enthusiastic engineers. Great place to learn new technology. Executive level people are doing great growing the company. The technology itself is growing the company.

      Cons

      Directors and middle management people are not so good. They mainly manage by fear and retaliate if an employee says no. A lot of them have been promoted because of their time with the company and because they are in the club, where they feed each other.

      Pros

      Great products - great to be in the leading edge of technology Good co-workers - Many fine people working hard

      Cons

      Employees as commodities, no regard for skill or morale Squeezing employees for money for acquisitions Keeping inconsequential rewards, like beer bash and withholding promotions and raises Contributing to the bad economy by laying off local people to hire in cheaper (foreign) locations; its bad for America Lip service only to valuing employees

      Pros

      salary and benefits on par with industry. very knowledgeable and capable core employees (most might have already left as of now).

      Cons

      notorious in-crowd culture--either you're in, or you're out. rampant POLITICS throughout the company which seem to be driven mostly by middle management who prefers to place their employees in silos as a way to sever communication and collaborative efforts amongst teams. daily gossips and back-stabbing is not uncommon.
