Pros

Brilliant engineers Nice campus; company provides access to electric carts when meeting in distant buildings. Great co-workers

Cons

Organizational silos Entrenched, unmanageable politics Bullies Accelerating reduction in benefits Disconnected and unmanaged processes ZERO transition strategy--when employees leave or business units are reorganized, no structure exists to prevent errors. Management is concerned with immediate appearances of success without regard to long term consequence and strategy. They take a bow today and leave a mess for someone in the future to be held responsible. Scapegoating

Pros

Environment, benefits, people, and location

Cons

VMware compensates not on merit but based on location. So some body in a location could perform sub par but will get 20% more money... I then wonder why work so hard? Does VMware realize we are working in the USA and this is a country / culture driven by / based on merit...

Pros

Good Technology on the three layers of IAAS, PAAS, SAAS Good vision on where the industry is going Great partners

Cons

licensing is getting in the way of sales. Too many conflicting models that make it hard to see what the real price is.
