Pros

A company that actually cares about their employees Supportive of internal career moves Decent pay Pat Gelsinger, one of the best CEOs in the business

Cons

Fighting tooth and nail to keep ESX relevant in a world that's looking to move away from on-prem datacenters and hypervisors Cloud native and Cloud strategies hot messes Many promotions based on friendships and tenure, not on skills or competence Recent massive loss of competent people, including Pat

Great Company, but horrible management

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

People, compensation, culture are great. Perks are great too.

Cons

Management.... VMware has senior management, at least in marketing that have been put into roles without ever having the experience required to understand how to manage the function. It's a learn as you go, which makes it challenging for someone with tenure.
