      Pros

      It's a billion dollar start-up. Lots of challenge and constant change. This company had done a REMARKABLE job at keeping up with the pace, and getting incredible, quality driven products to market quickly.

      Cons

      It's a billion dollar start-up. Lots of challenge and constant change. Constant management changes and lack of overall communication between organizations is a constant obstacle.

      Boring world changers

      Pros

      VMware takes a nice "solve the hard problem" approach to a lot of things, which makes the work more compelling. It's an incredibly strong engineering company, with incredible senior staff engineers. There's a great feeling that people won't bother you if you do your work well.

      Cons

      It's boring and geeky. You're writing enterprise software, so it's in no way glamorous and hard to explain to strangers. There's a blandness that comes with this, since almost no one is really really excited about what they're working on.

      Pros

      Great culture- open, forthright, very smart people, but not egotistical. Culture that deals with issues openly and tries for open and honest communication. VMware is filled with people who are both hard working and laid back. People are incredibly supportive of personal lives, yet understand that it is all-hands-on-deck to be able to stay in front of the competition. Fabulous, bleeding edge products that speak for themselves and have proven themselves in the marketplace.

      Cons

      Grown very fast, and sometimes inefficient. The operational pieces are constantly playing catch up with the growth in terms of HR, IT and operations. Still, they are constantly looking for ways to improve and catch up, so it's not as much of a problem as if they were not dealing with it. We are catching up with ourselves on this, and VMware is very proactive about fixing issues. Sometimes VMW over hires for positions and then people feel like they aren't growing as quickly as they would in other places. The maternity/paternity/disability leave policies are very light...surprising for a company who values its people so much.
