Pros

Still considering VMware to be a good company globally and it offers: Good employee benefits Good brand name Good products/solutions

Cons

Local office culture is not what it used to be when the leadership changed hands a year ago: Bad leadership which leads to toxic culture Hierarchical Bully Favouritism

It's all downhill from here

Pros

Starting pay, benefits, work from home option

Cons

You can see the culture going downhill. It used to be a good place to work but they keep forcing more and more Dell folks to come onboard and it's becoming unbearable to work here. Management used to describe working here as "having the feel of a start up but the stability of a large company". Senior/C-Suite leadership is leaving left and right. Pay and benefits are no longer competitive. Diversity and inclusion programs are just for show. Management doesn't actually care about DEI. Promotions are based on who you know and how well you say "yes" to everything. No well thought out path for career progression. Everyone is new so if you're tenured, you're always teaching other people what to do. People cycle in and out. This isn't a place to build a career.

Pros

RSUs - We received good number of shares as part of appraisals. But I hear they have stopped it now. Facilities are better than many companies, pantry is excellent.

Cons

Infested with internal office politics. A lot of managers were relatives of each other and highly unprofessional. Quality of work in operations was among the worst I have seen. Hiring unqualified people only because they were from a particular neighbouring state or they were relatives of someone they know is common in PSO ops, deal desk teams etc. Even though I personally didn't face any discrimination and I earned decent salary, I quit only because of the low quality of work offered and the unprofessional environment. VMware Bangalore is a toxic place if you join expecting highly professional MNC culture. Strongly advice to avoid joining this company if you are going to be a part of Operations or Finance.
