      A long slide downhill -- if the founding CEO were still here, this wouldn't be such a disaster

      Pros

      - some of the best products in enterprise software, although lack of focus on them means the competition is catching up. - amazing engineering team, at least the old guard on the main virtualization products. - The company is making so much money from the cash cows that compensation and benefits are now pretty good.

      Cons

      The company has lost its way. - crazy and continuous management changes - tons of VP's who don't know what they are doing and have been recently hired and don't do anything or screw things up. - Morale is at an all-time low, even after some of these lousy executives have been fired in the most recent changes a few months ago. - They need to fire more VP's, but it is not clear that they (the CEO and the "new" SVP's of vSphere) have the guts to do that, or even a clear notion of who is good or bad, and why. - Promotions make no sense. - Nobody feels that what they do will make a difference. - New managers are hired in who are not qualified, not hard working, and are simply yes men and petty bureaucrats. - The passion and pride which brought us to greatness are being systematically crushed out of the company. - The CEO and the execs have gone on a wild goose chase after "the cloud".
