Pros

Work-from-home Work life balance and PTO depends entirely on your manager. Access to lots of training Turtles

Cons

Average salary, average benefits. 50-60 hours a week, weekends and holidays when projects are due. ~1-2% yearly raises, no promotions, no equity after hiring. Laysoffs every 9-12 months focusing on highest salaried employees. Constant management churn. Expect a new manager and VP every year and a new reporting group every other year. Training must be done on your own time.

Pros

Great people. Intelligent, humorous, fun to hang out with. Weekly happy hour. Great salary, great benefits. Employees encouraged to give back to community. Easygoing managers, at least mine was great. No Accrued Vacation - don't know whether to love it or hate it.

Cons

Influence of EMC is present, and starting to shape the company. VMware appears to be past the line of build/buy - instead of creating products of their own making, they are rich enough to buy whole companies. This stifles internal innovation, just like EMC does.

Pros

Good payment compared to other companies in Sofia Fairly professional manner of working/processes, planning, etc Good engineers

Cons

People are very very conservative Very 'grey' working environment - people communicate with each other only if there are any problems and need help You have little to no say about what the company does - orders come from the office in the States and we are just executing A lot of politics in place - you might notice that measuring your work gets more attention than actually doing the work
