Pros

Very good pay and benefits There are still some very smart and nice people (but they are in decline) Nice campus and physical work environment

Cons

Very heavyweight and dysfunctional release management process. Very slow moving. Takes enormous engineering effort each year to put out a vSphere product release, while not moving the needle very much. Toxic politics and a fair amount of silo-ing and back-stabbing. Overall a very harsh engineering culture where different silos tear and grind at each other rather than unify and collaborate. Company pays lots of lip service to meritocracy and accountability, but what happen daily is just the opposite. Toxic and incompetent people are allowed to be around for years, wrecking havoc on the engineering organization. Product quality seems to be getting worse each year.

Pros

Competitive Pay, Interesting Products, Customers are largely satisfied with VMware

Cons

Frustrating internal processes. Feedback from field ignored. Saturation of core products, and very slow adoption of non-core. Management completely disconnected from field.
