      Toxic culture, deceiving, racist

      Director

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Spent 2 years as director of Engineering at VeloCloud. It was the most traumatic 2 years in my life. The toxic culture, the racial biases, the clear fraud, the clear corrupt directors is insane. How does VMWare allow such corruption. Remember this, VeloCloud will be the drag that will put VMWare out of business. It will only need some of the employees to come together and sue for racism. Cases for racism are so clear and can easily proved.

      Cons

      This is for VeloCloud: - Toxic. - Fraud. -Corrupt.

      Pros

      decent base and bonus with less stock

      Cons

      Desperately cutting cost by moving project to India. High quality, innovative people and high performer got laid off just because they are in Palo Alto. Yet, they hire team in Palo Alto to do the new, critical, and most difficult part only to lay them off once they got a good job done.

      Management is myopic, breeds fear. (Applicable to Horizon team only)

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Opportunities to work on world class systems products. However very difficult to actually make use of this.

      Cons

      micro-management, management is not hands on at all. No engineering manager and above writes or reads code (has probably never even deployed a daaS system on their own). Heavy share of pointless meetings per day. Constant pressure of daily scrums. When someone speaks up, the axe will fall on him on January or July. I still give it 3 stars, as globally VMware is a very strong brand. Does great community work. Very innovative, great CEO. Stay away from Horizon team in Bangalore though. (Unless you are in JP Nagar, in which case probably the traffic trade-off will just tip off the balance. Most of the management DOES stay there.)
