VMware reviews

Advancement in this company from within is simply impossible. Regardless of your accomplishments, talent, or skill level, you likely will not move upwards from the role you were hired for without an act of God. You are a cog, and they will not move you from that role. Absolutely no career development -- no opportunity to work on projects outside your area, gain new skills or -- God forbid -- get training in an entirely new area. Forget going to outside classes. Sweatshop mentality has become the norm New leadership bringing in management from outside (cronies) that are less competent than internal candidates Arrogant attitude from senior management about "knowing what's best" for the company, yet reluctant to hear candid feedback Serious disconnect between achievement and reward for performance The pay just isn't that much better than working at a boring company with no growth (and a lot less work). You can be a cog elsewhere, with less stress and fewer politics.

Directors and middle management people are not so good. They mainly manage by fear and retaliate if an employee says no. A lot of them have been promoted because of their time with the company and because they are in the club, where they feed each other.
