The thrill is gone, but it still pays good.

Pros

Cutting edge technologies. In sections of the company, true innovation is going on. Comically lopsided culture where engineering rules and everyone else is stupid.

Cons

Large corporate culture has taken over. The culture of merit still exists among the clued, but there has been a significant lowering of standards over the years. It's now like any other large enterprise software company. The pay is good, but you're no longer changing the world.

Pros

The work culture is great. There are a lot of smart people with ideas.

Cons

The company has grown way too much too fast. I believe the big size is a disadvantage in getting things done as you want to.

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Extremely smart co-workers. 2. Very interesting and challenging work. 3. Very flexible work environment. 4. Great work-life balance. 5. Top class benefits (great health insurance, 401k matching, ESPP, etc.) 6. Employees are empowered to make their own decisions and have a significant impact on the products. There is no micro-management. 7. Innovation is highly encouraged and rewarded. 8. Plenty of opportunities for learning and career growth. 9. Merit based compensation and recognition of hard work.

Cons

The only downside of working at VMware is that Palo Alto and surrounding cities have extremely expensive housing. So if you are relocating from another state where you own a large house, you may be in for a shock.
