Pros

Overall it is a good organization to work at. I get to work on some interesting, industry defining virtualization products; great company culture in many aspects.

Cons

When it comes to promotions and being recognized for your achievemnts, I think VMware scores poorly. In my opinion, that there are a lot of politics involved and this is quite discouraging in that sense.

Pros

Still has many of the early superstar engineers and manages to attract NCG recruits from top universities to keep the talent level relatively good.

Cons

There has been a pattern of annual spring attrition taking with it some invaluable engineers, their talent, and parts of the company culture. Not all of the replacement engineers or the company growth in head count is of the same caliber as a few years ago.
