      Culture has fallen apart

      Director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      good benefits, global in nature, great customers

      Cons

      Culture has turned toxic (employees are frequently gaslighted and disparaged. HR cases go unresolved. Spirit of collaboration across orgs is dead. Large proportion of people are all looking externally). New CDTO org fell off a cliff and has undercut the success of groups across the company (poor internal systems, processes, no vision) There are few good orgs left. Best senior leaders have all left; particularly there’s been a massive exodus in women leadership (VPs)

      Toxic favoritism and racial are the basis of promotions

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I learned late the hard way that the leadership is extremely biased to hiring their own ethnicity. Then promotions are only for their own ethnicity. VeloCloud is now part of Vmware under the same toxic leadership. They use VMware to cover their racist practices. Bonuses are taken from non-indian and given to indians. I am a current employee and I have seen how the VPs and Directors control promotions with clear racist practices. A lot of reports were sent to the vmware to investigate. What is the outcome? more toxic and alienation of employees who complain that their bonuses are stolen. More retaliation. Many employees had their bonus stolen this round of March/April 2021 and given to the directors indian friends.

      Cons

      This is as toxic as it gets. Retaliation if anyone speaks up against the racism and favoritism. Competency does not matter. Race matters. If you are indian, you will get 120% bonus. If you are non indian you will get 80% bonus. It is obvious, easy, and clear.

      Not a good place for Engineers

      Senior member of the technical staff
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Full stocked pantry 2. Decent package

      Cons

      1. Hundreds of non-technical middle managers. Micromanagement and politics became core of this company. 2. Ineffective HR, I was harassed by management when I put down my paper. New tasks were being assigned after my resignation and I was threatened not to be relieved if those were not completed. I had to involve HR for that matter and HR refused to intervene. 3. No job security, frequent layoffs. 4. No transparency on whatsoever is happening in the project. Engineers are treated as dumb executor.
