Best place I ever worked, and Broadcom will destroy it

Pros

VMware is the best place I have ever worked. Of course there are always things you could complain about, but ultimately, VMware pays its employees well, treats everybody with respect, and encourages employees to develop themselves. The company goes out of its way to do nice things for its employees. i'm going to miss VMware and all of the people here once Broadcom destroys the culture and lays off 90% of us.

Cons

It's easy to get pigeonholed into a job here, but the company will continue to promote and incentivize you financially to stick with it. There are a lot of tenured directors and senior directors that are in over their heads. Good people, but are not qualified for director level jobs other than having worked their way up at VMware.

Pros

Work/Life Balance Front Line Management Some offerings are great ( VMC and WS1)

Cons

VMware has become a soulless company driven by the almighty dollar…they don’t give a crap about the individual…they use to but don’t anymore Sales has no voice or seat at the table…finance runs the show Head spinning turnover…from the C-Suite to BU to Sales…there are a few top performers left but that number shrinks every year Sales Commission Caps Lots of pretending that things are great and morale is up. It is neither of those things. Process on top of process and for process sake Horrific Communication from Sales Operations
