Pros

Free training/exams on VMWARE products

Cons

-every other aspect of the job, stuffy enviroment, not encouraged to interact with colleagues, not even to talk work (too discracting) the office space feels like a prison... management take 15 minutes breaks to go and smoke every our, which esentually cuts two hours out of their day, yet god help you in you make two coffees in an hours... So clicky its unreal, and well if you dont like cars your finished before you even start, as upper management race around like a holes and have parking spaces right by the office... yet 'lesser' employees don't get spaces... oh and dont get me started on the HR department..

Pros

Training, when management actually allow you the time to take it.

Cons

High workload and very high stress environment arising from poor management. Whilst you can take breaks, most never have the time. It's a 'bums on seats', hire-and-fire mentality where your volume of positive customer satisfaction surveys returned are all that matters.

Pros

Only pros in vmware is competitive pay for the person who dedicates extra working hours and complete weekends.

Cons

No growth in organization who works well during the working hours Engineers and Managers work only for recognition rather than self learning Inefficient Management to handle team, no team spirit. No personal life, planning for a vacation over week-end?,beware you may be asked to join a customer call while you are driving your car. If denied, growth impacted. No proper planning of your work, because you will not get a chance to. Your interests will not be considered, whether you like the work or not, you have to work as dictated by your manager. Joining vmware ?, beware that you may be fired without a prior notice and with no genuine reason. Frequent organization changes resulting in firings, it is quite common that firings happens 2 times a year.
