Pros
VMware offers a vast array of technologies and solutions disciplines to learn and master. Leadership encourages constant learning and generally encourages employee growth. The working culture is flexible, friendly, and promoted citizen philanthropy. Middle Management practices empowerment and advocacy over imperatives, directives, and disciplinary measures. Good pay.
Cons
Frequent changes to the organization due to shift in ownership, leadership, and other changes often invoked by the board can make it challenging to stay rooted in a path or discipline. Business process and organizational top-heaviness results in overcomplicated process, workflows, and bureaucratic stress. Too many internal initiatives that support upper-management MBO attainment can conflict with chartered / individual objectives. Vertical movement is more attainable through role changes than same-role promotions. RSU grants typically do not trickle down below Director-level staff.
