Pros

VMWare can be an excellent plance to work: there are many excellent people to work with, the products are exciting, the campus is beautiful, and for many jobs telecommuniting is possible (indeed, required) since the workforce is spread across the globe. Depending upon one's immediate supervisor, one's time requirements can be very flexible. Some people telecommute every day, others come to the office every day, and others negotiate other arrangements, i.e. coming in to the office one or more days a week or as required to attend specific meetings. VMWare is going through a major top-down reorganization which should result in a more efficiently run and successful company.

Cons

Unfortunately, because of the reorganization, which is still in progress, chaos often reigns.

Pros

The VMware main campus is beautiful.

Cons

This company is constantly in a state-of-change. Managers come and go all the the time and HR allows people to be managers who can't manage people. People work for people, not companies, and at VMware, you work for the company. VMware has moved from being a start-up to a company run by finance. Citing the macroeconomy, VMware has also recently cut back on employee benefits, however, I find that hard to believe when the company still posts profits quarter after quarter, after quarter...

Pros

The company is in a great place to grow exponentionally. The work environment is great, people are great, and everyone truly has passion to improve VMware.

Cons

The company is growing fast and the company is feeling the growing pains. The great close knit feel of the company is dying. New management is being hired from large companies like Cisco and Oracle and management is trying to push its big company burucratic processes on VMware employees.
