VMware Senior Program Manager reviews

Executive management seems to think that culture is just contained in the core developers. They are systematically cutting anything that is not a core engienering roll and either off shoring or doing without. It is leaving behind a fragile eco-system that is waiting for the shoe to drop and cutting off innovation. The way in which their silent lay offs have occurred have been rife with politics. Your job security isn't about how good you are, but about who you are buddied up with.

Lack of talent at all levels of management from the top down. No process. No communication. The only way to get promoted is politics, not how well you perform. To much fighting between teams. VMware employees and management forget that they are competing with other companies and not internal departments. Too much money being spent on stupid things.
