Pros

* Technology stack * Good compensation

Cons

* Your life at Vmware is hell, if you are part of marketplace team * Worst culture * Closed mindset of team * Manager has lots of echo; got promoted due to personal connect with director * Team is not ready to mingle with new joinees * Lots of political and underground work that results in no transparency

Pros

You have to like working for a large, globally distributed company to work at VMware. We can work around the clock as a team and have the security of a massive company behind us. Small errors won't make or break us because our portfolio is huge. For someone with a family who needs that work/life balance with great benefits, it's a great place to work. Even the pandemic hasn't slowed us down. We're still acquiring companies and encouraged to work from home.

Cons

We can't pivot quickly. This is not your roommate's startup. We can't cultivate the spirit and enthusiasm of a startup. We do our jobs, but there's little passion. Changing tools or processes globally takes an incredible amount of time an effort. If you like agility, this ain't it. ;)

Pros

Great tech, lots of learnings, great resources and employee benefits

Cons

As my title says, it was a great place. Now it's all about how much you know your manager, how much metrics you carry. Doesn't matter how techy you are how complex problems you are solving you get recognized only when you are your Manager or Senior Managers pet. VMware is great, the exec team is great the leadership team in Bangalore GSS sucks big time. They lack people managers. There are few managers and senior mangers who still value employee.
