Pros

The company is making adjustments to clean up a lot of the prior problems. For a recent IPO and shift in senior management team VMware is providing a great opportunity to work with not a lot of hand holding.

Cons

Gaining 15lbs in the first couple of months.

Pros

VMware is a leader in one of the most promising domains in the enterprise space. It has one of the best brands around.

Cons

The engineering managers are very bad at planning. Most products, other than the flagship ones, do not have a plan. With acquisitions happening all the time, there is tremendous pressure on all the teams to prove themselves. This translated in to very bad work life balance for the team members executing. The compensation does not match the efforts put in, and that does not help in any way.
