Pros

Good company, great renumeration ,good products.

Cons

Actually Vmware has no Cons, Its a good company. The problem is with the IT-Bangalore, All Leaders in IT-Bangalore are STUPID, Boot-Lickers,selfish,arrogant. If you are good in Boot-Licking and dont want to do any work or progress technically you join IT- In BANGALORE. You will flourish. It was headed by one person who has been moved out which is a good move. Please do the same to all the Directors,Sr-Managers who were reporting to him.Here you address your managers as ---"Sir" --Crap, The people who have self-respect will never do it. I was one of them and was targeted which I did not care. I left the company for my good and got a offer 20 times better than VMware because of my Knowledge, My offer with VMware was one of the best. I was there for 2 years so I have a very clear understanding of how it works. Dell Team, Please clean IT -bangalore, lot of duplicate jobs are there only because of Boot-Licking ,no ethics, no proper-work culture, contractors are being paid for no reason, you will flourish after the new acquisition if you tackle this. EMC is a great company which you have acquired and I have worked there also, EMC is a far-better and a consistent company than VMware. Best of Luck for your endeveour DELL...., Lets see VMware gain it shine from Dell Management.

Pros

Simple plain and honest review: 1. Better company culture and facilities then most of the companies out there( PS: I have worked in many) 2. Very good company office and if you are in GBO or GCO then you get enjoy the go connect events too, which is by the way super fun and add beer bash in every quarter and its like cherry on the top. 3. Now on to the serious part, work culture is not great unless you are in R&D. Many teams believe in manual jobs yet and still excel is bread and butter for all. But still all depends on your team and how your management looks into adaptability. 4. How your life goes is completely dependent on your manager. Either you have to be too good to be above the politics or too good in making people happy.

Cons

1. Lots of politics and a pat on back and salary hike is completely dependent on favoritism. A lot of south Indian and north Indian politics and if you know Telugu or Kannada then half your problems are solved. 2. Management is not transparent in reality and all your work is pre dominantly governed by your stakeholders in US. So, independent work, just forget it and learn to fall in line. 3. What is in mind is never shown on face and actions differ from words.
