Pros

This SHOULD be a great company. It's got a great set of culture values, killer products, a devoted customer group, excellent diversity mindset, and enough growth to give opportunity for people to move up. Plus, they pay really, really well, allow you to work remotely, and have a strong strategy for the future.

Cons

But, there seems to be this core group of toxic people that Will. Not. Leave. (maybe because they know they have burned their networks outside the company). And they manage to keep getting promoted by making it miserable for everyone else, and basically outlasting them. The result is an org with very few "doers" and a lot of "maneuverers" that make themselves look good by packaging the work of others. In addition, they have some serious growing pains to go through - there's a lot of stuff that takes waaaaaaaay longer than it should because leadership won't organize around a process that reflects their size.

Pros

The company had a good promise. It was acquired by VMWare. Only founders made money. Rest of employees (most of them) left VeloCloud after 1 year vesting.

Cons

It has become terribly racist place after 1 year at Vmware. Founders hired Indian Managers. All managers are Indians. Over 93% of employees are from India. Many complaints to HR at VMWare but no use. HR works for managers.

Pros

Exposure to latest technologies, well paid, innovation, first-rate hikes, frosting bonus, company values, community service, patents, awesome pantry services, TGIF treats and many more.

Cons

Review specific to EUC bangalore desktop senior management: Team culture is not up to VMware standards. Favoritism towards engineers. Micro management. Dirty politics. Lacks trust on engineers. Unrealistic goals and targets. Autocracy. Lacks open culture. Room for retaliation. Supremacy towards personnel benefits rather than team success.
