      Poorly Run Sales Organization

      Sales representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - name is well known -products sells itself. -lion's share of the virtualization space

      Cons

      - The company has been built on a house of cards - Should be called "BEA part 2" - you're either "IN" or your out - top executives STILL there. - a lot of the best sales leadership were either pushed out due to arrogance at the executive level - or they left once they realized the place was a mad house and built of a house of cards

      VMware CPD development work

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Environment within CPD (bug-fixing) teams is excellent and people are highly skilled and qualified. When a critical issue comes, you can easily get help from teams across domains (from core kernel, file-system to storage) to get it resolved.

      Cons

      If you enter CPD stream, there is almost no way to enter product aka core development work. You will be forced to work exclusively on just bug-fixing and no opportunity is available in terms of time and other resources for more creative work. Even communication with core teams to solve an issue is considered as "taking their help" which counts negatively for you.

      VMware in the past

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      such a laid back place to work. tons of free food and drinks. amazing beer bash every Friday. anything you may need to do your job better you can order relatively problem free. nice equipment to work with. a lot of the employees are really into what they do and it helps create a great work environment.

      Cons

      hard to move up. office politics run deep.
