VMware Technical Support Engineer reviews

slow progress in getting a raise.inequality in rewarding hard work, management only cares about numbers.

As you slowly start to experience how the company is run, you tend to question whether this is normal or not. Can you really not work from home? Are you randomly selected to work on weekends and after hours if you don't pick a spot to sign up? Are managers supposed to comprise of people with less than 3 years experience? Are you supposed to be punished for helping other people? Do they ever encourage you for what a good job you're doing? Can you even move to a career opportunity you want to do? You can tell from other negative reviews that they talk about inexperienced managers. They are true. I don't want this to deter anyone from seeing the bright side of this company (because it's still growing), but until managers get better trained to make everyone happy (including themselves), I do not recommend anyone to go through that and think corporate industries run like this. It makes your life stressful, you feel like what you're doing is not worth it, and you lose your voice and imagination that can better shape the company. As a disclaimer, not ALL managers are like this. There are AMAZING managers in this company, but I am specifically talking about ones in the Technical Support role.
