Pros

The benefits are fantastic: contributions towards health insurance, matching contributions to charity, Wellbeing allowance to name a few. The people are super welcoming and friendly. The culture is great for director level a below. There is great flexibility in working from home. The hard and software you work with are solid and work. There is a culture of recognition, at least several times a year you receive formal and monetary acknowledgement of something you have done, on top of the annual reward cycle. In addition colleagues let you know frequently that the work you do is appreciated.

Cons

Since the announcement of Broadcom's intention to take over VMWare, decisions have stalled, which has been frustrating. No clarity yet on what will change after the acquisition, making it hard to recommend the company to friends. Processes are unclear and/ or laborious. Taking time off at the wrong time limits commission payments. Part-time working is nearly non-existent. Access to certain development opportunities is by luck rather than design. Career opportunities are not known until we have more clarity on what Broadcom's acquisition of VMware will change. Anyone at Director and above lives in a political minefield with poor psychological safety. Some sr managers do not work to the company values.
