VMware reviews

The annual release cycle doesn't meet anyone's needs. We can't make big bets because they don't fit into an annual release release, which means that we can't deliver enough value to justify an annual release. There's a new fire drill that requires a drastic re-plan every few weeks, which impacts morale and leaves the impression that senior management doesn't know what it's doing. QA is perennially understaffed, which makes the annual release cycle more difficult. Our customers don't want annual releases. We're not investing in our architecture or scalability, which leaves us vulnerable. The benefits are okay, but not as good as other companies. The 401k and charitable giving matches do not match local companies.

Very poor (across the board) IT senior management team. The most political environment anywhere. Long hours are the norm. It's a sweatshop. Everything is an emergency, complete lack of planning and structure. IT culture is poor, everyone is afraid to speak up. Without a doubt, staff would leave if not for RSUs. Would rank at less than one star if the option was there.
