Pros

Great Atmosphere. Fringe benefits are amazing; Soda, snacks, lunch on Fridays, breakfast on Wednesday. Great place to work!

Cons

Growing very fast means that there are a lot of new people that you do not know.

Pros

Leading edge technology, for now

Cons

Marketing is not in sync with industry perception that VMware equals innovation and thought leadership. Programs are nothing new and many are old school, traditional, brick and mortar marketing programs. Paul Maritz is great, but that's where the strong leadership ends. Everyone under him is subpar.

Pros

- Market leadership in virtualization - Core technology for cloud computing - High stock price (good if you are granted lots of RSUs)

Cons

- Productive and responsible people are not awarded. - People who play politics get things their way, often at the expense of people who do the real work. - Decision making is based on political influences rather than technical facts. There is no consequence or accountability for bad decisions. - Managers think they can manage people by threatening, punishing or humiliating, rather than encouraging or rewarding.
