Great company but things are changing

Pros

Great benefits, high payscale. Some of the brightest and friendliest people I've ever worked with. Innovative company.

Cons

EMC culture is "seeping in" and is increasingly apparent. Difficult to maintain work-life balance with workaholic "yes man" micromanager expectations. A lot of process redundancy with resistance to change. Career advancement may lead to "pay reset" (in my case paying less money!). Benefits are being clamped down on to reduce costs (i.e., elimination of internet reimbursement, increasingly lowering cell phone plan reimbursement amounts, etc). Lots and lots of inefficiencies that are frustrating to deal with. Much of that has to do with management bloat, red tape, resistance to change, resistance to address inefficient processes & procedures.

Pros

Best in class technology and products. Everyone is treated fair and with respect. Health benefits are much better than other companies

Cons

There aren't too many things to not like about VMware. If I had to not pick it would be the 401K match is capped each quarter.
