Pros

Nothing comes to my mind apart from salary (Initially offered) which is a bit higher than other counterparts.

Cons

VMWare IT is a place where an honest non-political technical guy should never work. Below are some of its real dark sides. - Full of politics - Open favoritism - No Work Life Balance - Absolute No recognition for the hard & effective (cost saving work) work - Managers might screw one's career - Very less hike irrespective of what you have done and achieved. - Real techie folks who are hard working and less political will be totally sidelined and will be taken for granted.
