      Growing Pains

      Pros

      The techology is really cutting edge, and VMware has a very high proportion of people who are both really smart and fun to be around. Solving really hard problems is ingrained in the company's culture, and we are the uncontested leaders in the red-hot virtualization space.

      Cons

      The company has been growing really fast, and not all areas of the company have scaled gracefully. Since the company went public, there has been a lot of pressure to contain growth and costs, and as a result some perks (such as free lunches on Wednesdays) have been taken away.

      Great technology. Stay away from Professional Services.

      Pros

      Great technology. Nice head quarters. The engineering staff is really talented. The products are generally rock solid. Product managers are generally interested in client feedback.

      Cons

      Professional Services management is more sales focused than true consulting. Sales numbers and utilization rein supreme over customer satisfaction or personal development. Management is very stingy in certain cases. They will spend $1 million on a sales all hands at a fancy hotel, yet require you to share a room with a co-worker. They also expect travel and meetings on the weekend with no offer for comp time. Managers don't appear to have much work-life balance and they expect the same from employees.
