Pluspunten

Very innovative and leading infrastructure company. The work environment is really good and the overall packages & benefits are very competitive. Clearly the #1 in Private Cloud and the customers loves the technology and the company. Also a lot of very skilled professionals.

Minpunten

Mainly three. First career development and talent management is almost not existant with many upper positions only opened to new hires. Secondly, the strategy is recentered on core datacenter technologies losing the momemtum around business value selling. Finally Dells's acquisition brings uncertainty on VMware's positioning in the overall Dell technologies group.

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, etc.

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 were let go for no apparent reason. Then to add insult to injury, a week or two later, there would be a company quarterly meeting discussing how VMware was doing so well and is still hiring, but they had to make some changes. It always felt dishonest and the sympathy for those let go came across as disingenuous.
