Pros

It's an exciting place to be and I love working with 'A players' in the industry. People are smart and motivated, which has meant that we are able to retain great talent. I have been at the company for 5 years and VMware has consistently grown and been profitable - even through a very rough economic climate. I attribute that success and vision to the executive leadership.

Cons

VMware will suck the life out of you if you let it. Work / life balance is a constant struggle. The pay is not as competitive as other companies. Working in 5th gear all of the time gets exhausting.
