Pros

You can be remote occasionally

Cons

There is ABSOLUTELY NO work life balance. You have a great group of SVP’s and above. The MOST ARROGANT group of VP’s. There are so many things you can go to HR with in how they treat their employees. I’ve seen different team members reprimanded publicly it’s demoralizing.

Pros

Amazing company in terms of perks for employees and the facilities Well paid Flexible work environment

Cons

They could throw you away anytime and it is consistent in VMware where people are thrown out every year. Most likely, new employees are thrown as they follow LIFO method to throw people out. This is the biggest issue as you will trust such big giant and enter the company but will be thrown out easily for business reasons and not performance related

Pros

Stock is doing well. Execs get nice bumps of RSUs. New markets being addressed can give them legs for the future.

Cons

Parts of the company have become of one culture. Unfortunately it a culture that leans to misogyny. The Health insurance was ravaged for cost; when I started I couldn’t believe how good it was. When I left I couldn’t believe how bad. Way too much offshoring for cost reasons; Costco model of buying engineers by the pallet.
