The sales culture is excellent. We have attainable goals and a manageable forecasting process.

You must be selling to the right type of company. West coast companies now are moving towards SaaS and Public Cloud, this is hurting VMware

Pros

Competitive salary Great benefit package Encourages employees to give back to their community Often flexible with working from home

Cons

Over the past few years, the Cisco culture has crept into VMware and has altered the vibe from that of an energetic start up to a predictable, contractor abusing, hiring freeze having, slave-to-the-shareholder kind of company. Additionally, VMW doesn't do a great job of cultivating their talent. Instead, they have begun to hire more outside talent, rather than developing and promoting existing folks.
