No respect for employees. Very poor senior leadership. Terrible middle management. No opportunities to advance. Most political place where expertise is not valued just whether you are 'in' or not.

Pros

The company has a great vision and the technology is good. The executive management is great. The industry has a very bright future and VMware is the leader in Virtualization.

Cons

The middle management is terrible. There is rampant favoritism. They routinely eliminate people that voice their opinions. They encourage and reward absolute conformance, boot licking.

Cons

Multiple layers of useless management. No opportunity for growth with team or outside department. Arrogance when it comes to traction/leverage within the industry.
