Pros

1. Very unlikely you'll get hired. A whopping five positions are showing open on the website, and a few of might be fakes. This at a time of year when most healthy corporations have new budget to spend and advertise lots of open positions. Go elsewhere. 2. The company might get sold to new management that could have a clue on how to run the business and treat their employees. 3. As far as cloud goes, there might be some life left for them in the healthcare space. 4. That is it. Good luck if you somehow end up there.

Cons

I could write a book on the experience of watching Dell come in and destroy the company culture. It would be one thing if it turned the business around. But all it did was snuff the life out of the place. The COO behaves rudely, has a questionable sense of honesty and insults his own employees during town halls. He should be selling used cars not affecting the lives of hundreds of employees with families to support. The last year was a right out of a Kafka story - a revolving door of VP's brought in then sent out to pasture, multiple product managers fired/quit, a new strategy every month. All of your time and energy going into figuring out if you were on the next round of layoffs, rather than building products that give customers value. Existing products that could have been a success in the market ignored or run into the ground.

Pros

Ability to work from home

Cons

If you want a company that will work you to death, gives zero appreciation, small raises, and treat you terribly, this is the place for you. Virtustream is all over the place, they have way too much management and throw out senior director to anyone as long as they are completely incompetent and don't understand the product or operations at all. Public sector is an absolute train wreck and nightmare, upper management gives it no attention and the testing for the products that will run there are practically zero. The business tries to focus its talent and time into things that customers aren't asking for, they don't listen to you, and operations is horrendously anemic. Another main issue is that the company basically encourages bad employees, you work like crazy and another employee does almost nothing - good work team, carry on. You work an entire weekend, up till 4 am on Saturday, good job, pat on the back. 80 hours of work in a week might occasionally get you a $100 "reward" for you efforts, enjoy your $2 an hour of overtime. The company basically treats its employees terribly, my family has had to have an intervention with me. A previous coworker I worked with had a similar experience and was encouraged to quit for her health from being so stressed and exhausted.

Pros

Sounds great from the outside(promise the world).

Cons

This place is a complete and utter disaster. We are all completely overworked, have no tools or organization, zero direction, and get pulled into sales now all the time because they have lost all the competency in the Sales organization. They do not care at all about family, career growth or balance of life AT ALL (I was led on to believe I would be promoted). Leadership does not have a clue at all about innovation, and its just a matter of time until Mr.Dell finds out its all a scam and the doors are closed. They took one of the best SAP leaders with years of SAP operations experience in the company and moved him without any notifications to the team at the near completion of our product, and replaced with someone who has absolutely no knowledge of SAP or the industry. Half of my development team is leaving and the other half is preparing to exit.
