Pros

- Wonderful place to learn about being verbose and increase verbiage without any tangible facts. - Fantastic place to master the art of circumlocution and navigate around real customer problems without ever solving them. - Everybody is a talker, very little doers - Giving a star because i can't submit this review without it.

Cons

- Worst experience of my 17 year career in technology! - Highly toxic culture in the Customer Success organization especially the partner group. - Treat you like slave labor right from Day1. - Management is non-technical and does not respect highly technical backgrounds because of the lack of knowledge. - High strung millennials running the show with plenty of attitude. - Immediate management is always looking for a scapegoat and covering their backside all the time. - Management will exclude you on key meetings with customers and blame it on you. - Product flaws and shortcomings will be dumped on TAMs to manage. - Preaching and practice are miles apart when it comes to collaboration with technical support as well as product management and engineering. - Will put you down as a person without experience - Drain away your confidence on purpose. - Absolutely no empathy and manage by imbibing fear! - My colleague and I had absolutely the same experience. She stuck around for more than a year and had to take a break for mental health.

Pros

good products. good perks. good company to start your career

Cons

Poor management. they made 200 people redundant in Cork and London to make a strategic move to Barcelona, salaries are obviously lower there. most of the people were not able to move and others were not considered for jobs in Spain, just few of us did. I lost trust in Vmware, it hasn't been a great place to work the last 6 months. People do not feel valued, communication is unclear and atmosphere is weird since.

Pros

Job-protected parental leave, if you believe.

Cons

Don’t believe what they advertised about job-protected parental leave. They don’t care about it when they let you go. I was laid off during my parental leave and when I asked the HR staffs how it could happen as the leave is job-protected, they coldly answered with brain twisted law words w/o any care about me as a real person. I feel very disappointed about how they treated me unfairly after have been working there over many years.
