Pros

Good employee stock purchase program.

Cons

The Atlanta office is run like a communist dictatorship. All fun, professionalism, trust of employees and sense of accomplishment will be crushed. They are dishonest and weeds out any non loyal employees, regardless of your success. Don't trust the corporate Kool-aid that you have a chance of ever being promoted. The top earners never get promotions even after years of service. Too many managers and no growth in this office.

Pros

If you remain in company for more than 4 years , No need to work , just redirect the work with out knowing anything. You can have frequent small onsite trips for 2 to 3 days. Dont work Just hire some contractors asked them to achieve the tough task, screw contractors your job is done

Cons

Never join Vmware IT team , specially sales team . There is no learning in the team , even on the lunch time , Team would be discussing only office politics , these person is bad, i screwed these contractor etc etc . People have just stayed here for longer time , they dont know even single concept of programming , design , architecture. All the work done by contractors from Accentures , Deloitte. No Learning when it comes to learn technical concepts. Frequent fights between the management and employees . Good people leaving the company only chamchas can stay here

Pros

Good work-life balance, the stock is doing really well and the opportunity to learn VMware technologies that will eventually enable me to work for my own self. Great co-workers: smart and driven.

Cons

- Bad managers - Huge trust deficit - Scathing emails are regularly sent - Managers do not know how to communicate - Some AirWatch managers in position of power do not understand basic business principles either, talk about cannibalizing other teams' services without realizing - Southern culture sadly permeates this office: conscious and unconscious bias is on full display, respect for minorities severely lacking
