Pros

-Good Benefits package -snacks and beverages -looks good on a resume They have great technology and have seen continued success but you have to wonder how long it will take for imcompetence to topple the giant

Cons

- Poor planning on important decisions - no accountability for dismal decisions - virtually no communication regarding pertinant job related issues - middle management is often just cronies of upper management from previous jobs. Others have posted this and it absolutely true. - logic is completly absent example of lack of logic: we require NET30 payment terms, obviously we would not accept Net45 or NET 60. The disconnect is we do not accept NET15!!!!!!!!!!! That is 15 days sooner than you require!!. NETzero is not accepted either!!! No lie, it seems unbelievable doesn't it. They require FOB Origin for all PO's for revenue recognition purposes even though this is foreign to their customers, industry standard is FOB Destination. If you purchase anything from VMware you should definitely use a partner.

Pros

Awesome technology Senior level management are at the top of their game Arguably the Smartest CEO in the industry Great people in the trenches Most people are willing to go out of their way to help. Training and enablement is readily available.

Cons

Cronyism and nepotism runs rampant Opportunities to advance your career are limited Some account managers are absolutely clueless when it comes to the concept of "solution selling" Mid-level management leaves a lot to be desired. Changing comp plans are making it more difficult to make money. Post-sales is not respected by the pre-sales organization. Too EMC re-treads have brought the baggage to VMware; everyone knows EMC culture and unhappy employees are synonymous
