Great technology, but not a great to work!

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great technology Definitely one of the most visionary CEOs in the industry Great under valued people in the field that put in all the work e.g. SEs, PSCs, TAMs Great training on VMware products is easily available

Cons

Acquisition is occurring at a very fast rate with little to no near term integration, make it very difficult to talk about products outside of the core product and paint an integrated story. The company seems to be VERY worried about Microsoft. Career advancement is very limited. The majority of mid-level to senior-level management within the Reston office are ex-EMC from the old EMC. The have brought over the unhappy work culture with them. Comp plans change half way through the year and are getting tighter and tighter.

Pros

Strong Brand within industry and very stable Virtrual products.

Cons

Sales leadership is qustionable at best, they take care of themselves and keep underperformers because of buddy system. New Sales Pros come in and get pushed down or out. The sales managers are unethical to customers with ELA renewals. Sales teams are lightweights and can't compete with heavys like HP, MS, IBM. They are stealing partner business by do more direct and less value add.
