VMware reviews

Multiple acquisitions have diluted the culture a bit Lots of attrition in leadership Company direction/future uncertain with multiple ownership changes

Where to start - there isn't 1 policy or way of doing things in VMware that actually makes any sense or brings value. No planning at all, whatever is done now, a month later is changed. Always trying to reinvent the wheel which causes delays and people leaving due to bad management. Level of management (manager, director, VP, etc.) has very very very poor skills as the corporate ladder is being climbed not based on knowledge or skills but based on personal ties and gossip. Our manager constantly makes sure to start scandals in the team, as he tells 1 guy other teammates are trash, then goes to the next teammate and says the same about the first. Toxic culture. Even if you mess up entire project and people get fired because of you - you still get promoted... Do not recommend to waste your time here and with Broadcom buying VMware there are layoffs everywhere and salaries are actually below average now and will go down with time, as Broadcom doesn't care about employees. Nor does VMware. It is just a big marketing trick with nothing to actually support it. Avoid at any cost and if there is no other option at least be prepared for a nightmare.
