Pros

- A lot of Benefits - Nice Campus and good people - Knowledge and experience gained - Competitive Salary ( at least as TSE) - Free snacks and coffee - Company Bus - Annual Salary review - Good training and opportunities to develop technically.

Cons

- Live Balance is null - MicroManagement - Stress level is very unpleasant. - Minor opportunities to grow within the Company (not in the same branch) - Very high-stress environment to work in. - The survey is NOT a way to measure the engineer's job - Needs more strength against stupid customers - Massive rotation (60 % of people leave VMware in their first year) Live Balance is null, no chance to work from home, really bad Management, Senior People think that they are almighty sacred cows. I won't recommend this job and company unless your only purpose would belong to a leading tech enterprise and increase the visibility of your CV. During my 2 long years working there, there's no backup from Management's side against customers. They are extremely demanding even when they are wrong or have taken an unsupported decision. Does not matter, the most important thing is having a positive survey. YES, CUSTOMERS ARE WRONG MOST OF THE TIME. Adding to that, there is a new generation of Managers who don't have an idea of how to manage a team, how to deal with pressure and stress and how to handle a priority one case, really poor management. A lot of contradictory changes, one week you are doing one thing and the week after you have to change it. STARTUP MIND!!

Pros

Good employee stock purchase program.

Cons

The Atlanta office is run like a communist dictatorship. All fun, professionalism, trust of employees and sense of accomplishment will be crushed. They are dishonest and weeds out any non loyal employees, regardless of your success. Don't trust the corporate Kool-aid that you have a chance of ever being promoted. The top earners never get promotions even after years of service. Too many managers and no growth in this office.

Pros

If you remain in company for more than 4 years , No need to work , just redirect the work with out knowing anything. You can have frequent small onsite trips for 2 to 3 days. Dont work Just hire some contractors asked them to achieve the tough task, screw contractors your job is done

Cons

Never join Vmware IT team , specially sales team . There is no learning in the team , even on the lunch time , Team would be discussing only office politics , these person is bad, i screwed these contractor etc etc . People have just stayed here for longer time , they dont know even single concept of programming , design , architecture. All the work done by contractors from Accentures , Deloitte. No Learning when it comes to learn technical concepts. Frequent fights between the management and employees . Good people leaving the company only chamchas can stay here
