Pluspunten

VMware is a global leader in virtualization technology and a great company; People in VMware are really smart and I like the team spirit and atmosphere in the company. The interview process is very strict and only smart people pass successfully the interviews and receive offers; The product line is very interesting - VMware is building very innovative solutions and this require a lot of innovation and creativity. The products and solutions that VMware develops are industry changing and it is very challenging to be a part of this; Senior Management is very reasonable and leading the company in a very right directions; The work-life balance is really great. I haven’t done any overtime last 1 year; Compensation and salary is very competitive compared to other companies in the valley. The same applies for the benefits;

Minpunten

sometimes the push is too hard and the deadlines are very short. This is mainly caused by bad planning;

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.
