Illogical Blanket Policies

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They offer great compensation in the form of base pay + rsu + bonus

Cons

They are antiquated in some of the software technologies they produce (this is highly BU specific) They apply blanket policies that don’t make sense. EX they expect me to go from a remote employee to I office which would mean 3 hours commuting daily to an office where none of my colleagues work.

Pros

Great compensation and stock plan

Cons

- Middle management kept hiring people even though upper management was already decided to fire the team they were hiring for ( multiple teams were reduced ) - Higher management seems clueless on what would help the product - Product owner did not have a clear vision how things should work - People only wanted to get their job done ASAP and did not care about best practices - Huge amounts of tech debt

This company devours and destroys, with no regard for people

Business Outlook

Pros

* High salaries. * Profitable company.

Cons

* CEO is authoritarian, old-school, and narrow-minded. * They dismantled in weeks the hard work VMware had made for decades regarding diversity, inclusion, equity, and employees' well-being. * VMware was the best 7th place to work on Glassdoor, and Broadcom took away all what made that culture possible!
