Pros

smart engineers and management has good capable, smart managers. Good technology. Competitive environment.

Cons

WLB is not really there, growth is slow. NSX has toxic culture, people are not very helping and there is blame game, finger pointing. Diversity and inclusion is not there at all, everyone measured against same standards. time off is frowned upon, you need to beg for one day off. too much pressure on managers and hence on you

Pros

1. You get to work on some very compelling, tough and complex problems in the industry. Whether you do a good job at it - that's a story for another day. 2. You'll meet some very bright and talented engineers. 3. Very decent perks 4. Amazing campus (if you are in HQ - Palo Alto) 5. almost too good Work Life Balance

Cons

VMware is a very large company and not all I mention may apply to the complete company. I belong to a logical group call management business unit. 1. Absolutely crappy leadership. CEO sends out an email with subject "2018 Resolutions! :D" to speak about how he enjoyed his holidays and what does he plan to do in 2018 in his personal life (emoji is my exaggeration) just minutes after company wide layoffs - need more examples - i don't think so. 2. Fit for nothing Product Management - Can't have firm roadmap, doesn't have priorities or deadlines - see where am I going? 3. Company has not learnt CICD in its more than 18 years. You'll see high level executives clap and say cheers for achieving pushing releases once in 3 months in a day where the big giants pushes code to prod multiple times in an hour.

Pros

Good place to work and learn. Healthy environment and up to date technology stack used.

Cons

Can't think of any specific cons. Open floor structure for development might be replaced with cubicles to give more space to developers.
