Pros

Overall the company is employee focused. Gives a lot of perks to employees like gifts, shares, allowances, leaves etc.

Cons

This company focus has shifted from hiring experienced employees to college graduates as a result of which the QOS has significantly dropped. The India mid-level management team is highly inefficient and has no clue on what's happening in the company and they just keep changing processes going around in circles. There is no value for experienced and knowledgeable employees like old days, and the main focus is just on college hires. Some college hires are getting more salary than 7-8 years experienced people in the same team. Most of the promotions/appraisals are based on office politics and how much you can impress the manager, rather than your work.

Pros

The company listens to you The company empowers you to succeed and contribute to success The company believes in collaboration, teamwork The company culture and values are solid - respect at the workplace, EPIC2 values are not just on paper! Encourages innovation, think lean, think like a startup, everyone has a voice

Cons

A global work culture with the freedom to innovate takes its toll on work-life balance. It's up to employees to find that balance and maintain Not all Departments, Business Units or Organizations within VMware receive the same treatment - There is disparity across orgs that contribute to some pain. As with all global corporates - there is politics are various levels that prevail - that may need to addressed at grassroots levels to bring out the best in all employees. Company is currently going through a lot of churn that is not good for employee morale!
