VMware reviews

Where shall I start. Career growth and opportunity of growth is something everyone says is there, but when I approached my management, I felt like I am begging for their mercy. I was even informed by my manager that he is not a career growth consultant that he will look after the growth and training, though it was mentioned during the all hands meeting that managers are responsible for growth The other issue was if you are buying coffee and act as a butler tot he managers, then only you are heard, otherwise their opinion about you is final, not the amount of deals helped to close or getting good reviews from the clients. It was obvious this is not a place to grow your career unless you add a skill of being a butler of a manager. I had some good memories and great platform which was ruined by these self obsessed managers.

The management team gets no management training and therefore acts unprofessionally. In the entry level software consultant position, which is actually just technical support (They don't tell you this until after you come for your first day of work.), the team leads micro-manage everything you do down to the words you use in emails. The hours are long, 9 1/2 a day, 5 days a week, and many times we have to work late or through lunch. All decisions are made behind closed doors, and the employees affected by those decisions don't know a change is made until the day it happens. People are randomly chosen to move to different positions in the company with no formal interview process, so career advancement or lateral career moves are often done willy nilly and new positions seem to go to friends of management or employees less qualified than others. Employees don't get enough training on the product before they have to support it with customers and have to figure it out on the fly while on the phone. You see people running around with the customer on mute begging their coworkers to help them troubleshoot an issue they've never worked on before. The documentation for the product is terrible and unhelpful in figuring out what's wrong. This is stressful for the employees and totally ridiculous!
