      Pros

      Good starting pay and benefits Great people (piers) Nice campus Global interaction VMware has had some changes and is not the same company but the technology is fantastic

      Cons

      VMware has had some changes and is not the same company No work life balance No advancement seriously you cannot move between groups without permission from your current manager, you cannot advance up word in other groups the move must be lateral, these are policy. Top Heavy and balloted – Inverted Pyramid theory from Business 101 Employees are expected to get it done at any personal cost. Mid management is afraid to push back on dates even if this means product delivery dates due to a bug fest. The tail wages the dog (Marketing being the tail)

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nice office with a view of the mountains food, espresso, and free drinks Workday ends at 5 pm, no pagers or late night calls. lots of happy talk about career progression

      Cons

      Very metrics driven and competitive to churn through high volume, burnout factor for sure. Sweatshop like cube farm, little cross-team interaction, I hardly know the people who work 3 rows down. Managers hand out memos with career ladder diagrams, but no specifics are given. This location does not employ senior staff, so promotion is necessarily limited despite the talk.
