      Top Heavy "Boys Club"

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Great Salary Packaging - Good Employee benefits - Nice offices and classy "meetings" - Social outings are quite high-end - If you are in Sales would be excellent for you

      Cons

      - The Company is very TOP heavy, where there are too many heads or managers than there are lower management / employees - The managers all seem to look after themselves and each other more than the lower management side to the point of under resourcing - The "Boys-club" environment is prevelant within the company providing a some-what intimidating feel within the office. ie ITS NOT WHAT YOU KNOW, ITS WHO YOU KNOW - They really work you to "the bone" and will not provide any recognition of work done. - Very sales centric and focused, with support and admin being very much undervalued - If you are in support, it would be a nightmare for you

      VMware CPD development work

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Environment within CPD (bug-fixing) teams is excellent and people are highly skilled and qualified. When a critical issue comes, you can easily get help from teams across domains (from core kernel, file-system to storage) to get it resolved.

      Cons

      If you enter CPD stream, there is almost no way to enter product aka core development work. You will be forced to work exclusively on just bug-fixing and no opportunity is available in terms of time and other resources for more creative work. Even communication with core teams to solve an issue is considered as "taking their help" which counts negatively for you.
