Bottom line driven cost cutting

Senior manager of software engineering

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Stock was soaring, hit a split and has crashed since. But still a good dividend generator. Anyone who works here is incentivised with RSUs and not necessarily top salary.

Cons

No innovation, just aquisition. Ruthless cost cutting may help the business but not necessarily their customers. Basically laying off whole groups in the US and pushing maintenance to India is not a great long term play.

No humanity, a culture of fear

Regional technical officer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay and RSUs are very generous for Sales and Sales Engineering positions, much higher than other companies

Cons

The high pay combined with ruthless continual layoffs of former VMware people results in a constant feeling of being trapped in a golden prison. You know that you could be the next person kicked out the door, but you also know you're not going to find a similar salary at other software companies. No feeling of sympathy or empathy from upper management, they only care about "what have you done today to increase shareholder value?"
