Pros

Good competitive salary and benefits thanks to VMware

Cons

Where to begin. This place is a mess beyond belief and HQ or VMware really need to start cleaning up management in the Milton Keynes office. Favouritism, gossiping, sleeping around, insanely high turnover in some departments, people being told by management they are not wanted, people being asked by HR to spy on employees personal lives and social media feeds, the list of neck hair raising examples of unethical and inexcusable management style just goes on and on. This is the place to come if you want to be seriously miserable.

Pros

Friendly Employees. Cutting Edge Domain

Cons

From where do i start. Ok here it goes. - Management does not care of an employee's Salary unless and until he puts down his papers. - Pure 'Chamchas' when i mean chamchas i mean it. yes they do exists and they are growing only becasue they nod their heads to their Leads/Managers. - Leads/ Managers - Never test, never manage scrum , never test , few handle Customer tickets, Never know how to get job done from an employee in a good way. - Only to know to keep record of leaves and in-out timings. - Pathetic - Freshers - seen some very talented freshers who have been given a wrong perspective of work. They feel lke coming out of college and joining school. Leave the place soon. - Salary - YOU are not paid what you are worth. People around may have more than what you are being paid. People under you will definitely have more than what you have. - Employee benefits - Never ever gave any benefit apart from somethings. We even had to beg our managers to take us to a good resort and would end up paying for the transport ourselves. Paying half of the gym allowance makes them feel Google or microsoft all of a sudden. - Senior Managers- Please Act before you loose everyone. throwing a google doc and collecting feedback is not the solution. - Food - aap hi raklo yaar apna food. Seriously not even worth talking about. - Gossips - Passionate people are present who are very interested in one's personal life and its gossips. Very popular Lead/manager speaks about the world. Another Manager who spends half of his time in cafe and on the phone is worried about the amount of time an employee spends in the pantry. I mean WOW!! - Not done here. i will come back and write more. - HR - LOL and ROFL is enough.
