Virtustream reviews

• Backing of Dell Technologies means links to a strong portfolio of customers. Brand recognition is good in US region. • The new CEO has struck the right balance between focusing on the core product and diversifying the portfolio. Whilst it has put itself in the Healthcare and Multi Cloud space, it hasn’t lost sight of its bread and butter product offering that gave them the edge into the market to begin with. As a result, everybody now has a crystal clear vision as to what we do, where we are going, what to offer customers today. • In the 5 years I have been here, the exposure to the vast array of technologies has boosted my confidence and upon reflection has given me some fantastic CV material (not that I am looking to move anytime soon). • You will never have a boring day. There is always something to do, whether it be a build project for new capacity or inbound customer, a DR test, some investigation, some ops procedure that could probably be automated, regular maintenance or migration. If you are bored and have nothing to do, you aren’t doing it right – reach out to your team. • Looking back over the 5 years, having the discipline of Dell Technologies trickle down to Virtustream has now changed the start-up mentality of “Get it done, get the light on at all costs” to mature, tried, tested and proven procedures with a far more robust outcome. • The sheer talent you will work with. I thought I was a geek until I joined Virtustream. Now I am surrounded by geniuses on another level. Regardless, the talent will bring you under their wing, mentoring you and helping you get up to speed on the environment. Being “different” is well and truly embraced here – it’s not how you, look, dress or act, it is the results you bring to the table that matter. • The amount of amazing technologies you get to work with. VMWare, Azure, GCP, Isilon, nearly anything in the Dell EMC product catalogue is embraced within Virtustream. If you are interested in the various Healthcare platforms, Virtustream are in on the ground floor so you will be exposed to a variety of fascinating technology on that front. • Great experience working across multiple time zones. We have a centre of excellence in Bangalore, the 24x7 operations teams that are the beating heart of VEC services and we also have various domestic teams across UK, Europe as well as across the whole of the US (literally coast to coast). • The benefits package is decent (even once Dell Technologies took over and “harmonised” our benefits). Your salary, including on call and overtime, whilst not market beating is still up there with the good ones. In addition, if you go above and beyond the call of duty, there is a decent recognition program where you are given an award which can be traded for products or gift cards. Furthermore, the Long-Term Incentive program is a good way to retain top talent by offering them shares in the company if they stay (leave early, and you will have to pay it all back, which is only fair). • Working from home and flexi-time really is a boon to those who are parents. Virtustream and Dell Technologies are not one of those companies who expect you to turn up at the office at 9am on the dot every day. You work as and how you please, as long as the work gets done. The Work From Home culture is embraced with both arms since the advent of COVID-19. You have so many collaboration tools at your disposal that you can really do business from anywhere.

People (Colleagues & Customers), Processes, Tools, Culture, and Leadership make Virtustream a great place to work.
