Pros

Leader in virtualization, smart people, lot of opportunity to learn and grow. Open culture, flexible work environment.

Pros

I was all starry-eyed when I became part of VMware thinking that I was mingling with the best of the best. There are lots of really talented engineers and the product is really cool, but in the end they are just normal people like me. The company has great benefits and pays really well, especially if you're not officed in silicon valley.

Cons

Communication and engagement with remote offices is horrible. If your not in the hallways of Palo Alto, you are left out of relevant conversations, and you may find any plans you try to make are invalidated by someone chasing the latest big fish. Less opportunity for advancement as well. Every January look out for layoffs. Oops, there goes another one!

Pros

very very flexible working hours (despite my moral conscience making me work 12h/day on busy periods like releases and other important dates), "unlimited" time off within common sense. You'll love it if you are in the right team/project. Very exciting technology. Great people to work with.

Cons

Not the right place if job stability is critical for you. Blind layoffs will surprise everyone occasionally no matter how important, critical, loyal or clever you are.
