Pros

Money...and nothing else. All perks which was given previously has also been stopped and money has been looted while building the new campus

Cons

Politics in IT and VC3 team . Don’t join there . Worst managers ,directors and a recently promoted Sr Director who is just into politics and nothing else, runs like a headless chicken if you take him on the face

Pros

- The people you work with are team oriented and generally believe in VMW's direction. - VMW does a lot of charity work, so they at least get credit for that.

Cons

- Pay scale for commissioned employees has been completely rigged against them, with ZERO explanation. They pay you at a rate of 0.75 until 50% of quota is reached, and only pay on 60% of vSphere sales. Despicable. Even worse is how they tier Inside Sales reps- they weigh them to the tune of 70/30, meaning 70% of commissions paid are sub 100k business, only 30% of your variable is paid out above 100k business. Completely stacked to position you to make less. This leads to a majorly demotivated workforce. There's so much tension and angst regarding these comp changes its palpable, and it's forcing people to leave. Completely and utterly disappointed leadership would allow such draconian changes that directly affect them and their families. -Leave policy for all ISR's completely changed from "unlimited", gave employees no real "bank" of days off to compensate, and now are considered hourly employees. Wonderful. - Zero guidance or direction for career advancement. Good luck.
