Pros

RSUs - We received good number of shares as part of appraisals. But I hear they have stopped it now. Facilities are better than many companies, pantry is excellent.

Cons

Infested with internal office politics. A lot of managers were relatives of each other and highly unprofessional. Quality of work in operations was among the worst I have seen. Hiring unqualified people only because they were from a particular neighbouring state or they were relatives of someone they know is common in PSO ops, deal desk teams etc. Even though I personally didn't face any discrimination and I earned decent salary, I quit only because of the low quality of work offered and the unprofessional environment. VMware Bangalore is a toxic place if you join expecting highly professional MNC culture. Strongly advice to avoid joining this company if you are going to be a part of Operations or Finance.

Two Thumbs Down

Pros

Lots of PTO, paid for cell phone and wifi, leadership seems engaged and really wants to diversify the company

Cons

-High performers stuck in low paying positions with no career path -Internal job interview process is absolutely terrible -Lots of antiquated processes that make it difficult for sellers to sell. It shouldn't take 2 weeks to receive a quote to deliver to a customer -I didn't see a focus on bringing in diverse candidates. They would prefer to hire friends from other companies who have the same mindset and do not bring creative ideas to the table -Terrible middle management; hostile work environment; HR was useless when I filed a complaint about my manager so I ended up leaving
