Reviews van VMware

Pluspunten

Goede product portfolio, product ontwikkelingen in lijn met markt.

Minpunten

Versplinterde organisatie met kleine koninkrijkjes. Lokale organisatie verliest aansluiting bij Corporate visie.

Wordt geen ORACLE.

Pluspunten

Werken met de modernste technologie, meedoen in de voorhoede van virtualisatie-werk, geweldige en omvangrijke projecten voor klanten, dit alles maakt het de moeite waard om te werken voor VMware. Zelfs in dit economisch klimaat kunnen we voor projecten naar alle delen van EMEA reizen.

Minpunten

Zeer weinig sterk leiderschap. HR behandelt medewerkers alsof we blij zouden moeten zijn om te werken voor VMware. Heel slecht resource management. Een groot aantal projecten en toch hebben mensen weinig factureerbare uren. Te veel managementlagen! Op bepaalde terreinen wordt gesneden in de personeelsvoordelen, en we krijgen te horen dat we geluk hebben dat we een baan te hebben.

Breng je zaken op orde. De mensen zijn je kapitaal! Behandel ze als zodanig. Luister naar je medewerkers, de meeste consultants lopen ook al lang mee in het bedrijfsleven. En vergeet niet: de besten vertrekken altijd het eerst! Ontwikkel een duidelijke visie, niet een die klinkt alsof hij is gekopieerd van een website of een boek.

Pluspunten

VMware is a big company but in many ways had a startup vibe. That was great because the resources and infrastructure of a big company were there, but it gave most people I worked with freedom to work on many projects, influence, move around, and contribute in many ways. Plus, many things moved faster than they might at other companies of the same size. Perks were really great including bonuses, events on the campus, opportunities,...

Minpunten

The biggest con is the annual layoff. During most of the years I was there, we were growing like crazy, beating expectations, gaining in stock price, etc. It was always positive and upward. However, every single January, it was known that there would be a round of layoffs, even when all numbers were looking great as they almost always were. Management called it restructuring. But, over the years, some really good people...

January was always a nerve racking month and it completely destroyed any sense of loyalty to the company. I know a few people that completely changed their perception of VMware after a colleague of theirs was let go with no apparent rhyme or reason. Many people left shortly after as a result of losing loyalty to the company or for just being stressed out about themselves getting cut the next year.

Pluspunten

Very friendly people and fun environment.

Minpunten

I lived really far away.

Pluspunten

Having recently joined from a less mature organisation, the culture is truly refreshing - lots of respect for the individual, great work to break down silos of operations and simply one of the most relevant customer conversations to be having at this time

Minpunten

I'm not sure they understand the size of the opportunity in the field - don't be an engineering company with a hidden message. It's now a value sale, not a widget you just need - the solution portfolio is amazing, it needs to tell the customers and not stay in product silo's

Advies aan management

Continue the investment in the storey telling of how we are transformational and relevant to customers Focus on customer outcome - not products Spend spend spend on Awareness - the message is so much bigger than externally understood!

Pluspunten

WFH opportunities Stock options Food/drinks available always Bonuses Events Opportunity to change the type of work internally

Minpunten

Can be stressful Overload or high workload

Pluspunten

Good workplace, less stress and reasonable benefits

Minpunten

Worst management in India at the moment in the Networking team, no teamwork

Advies aan management
