Pros

Diane Greene set up one of the greatest software companies in history and Paul Maritz extended very well by laying out a very nice vision.

Cons

From a company valuing people to a company valuing spreadsheet metrics a bit more. Organization structure is a lot more "scalable". Nothing wrong with any of the above especially considering vmware is a publicly traded company after all.

Pros

Flexibility, working from home is an option. People are very smart, creative and innovative and passionate about what we do. The company has a lot of perks such as free snacks, soda, juice, coffee, candy. Beer Bashes. Fitness Classes, Yoga, great facilities. Compensation is very competitive, there is a bonus and stock options as well as an ESPP.

Cons

Like any public company there are trials and tribulations. After IPO in 2007, there have been a lot of challenges dealing with growth but I think it's worth hanging in there.
