Ruined VMware completely

Pros

VMware was great, up until they started feeling the need to impress Broadcom with how skeletal a crew they could (barely) run on.

Cons

VMware's culture started going down the drain the moment Broadcom began circling it. Broadcom promised to keep VMware's cultural values intact; everyone knew they were lying. Good employees left in droves, and most were never backfilled. The last year I spent working at pre-acquisition VMware, during which my workload was increased to the point where I had no bandwidth to look for a job elsewhere, made me borderline suicidal. I practically begged my manager to lay me off, so I could at least have a few months' leeway before potentially losing access to the healthcare that keeps me alive. I'm thankful that I got laid off before the acquisition was complete, especially given everything I've heard about Broadcom since.
