VMware reviews

A specific group of people talk in their native language and i can hardly get what they are discussing. And i get a feeling that the better chunk of work is given to the same group as well by the lead(who by the way belongs to the same set). The HR team is of no use here. All the decisions are taken by only 2 people, both being spearheads of technology group. The policies are not so great as far as work life balance is concerned. The work from home concept exists but only to a privileged few. They do encourage people in participating in Hackathons and patent filing and white paper submissions, but its made as a part of your goals rather than a self/team innovation and very much becomes a criteria for your hikes and promotion. They look for a person to be in office and work 24hrs just be given an average rating. After VMware acquisition, thought the policies would be changed, but there were no significant changes to benefit us. All we Indian employees get is to reimburse gym bills and got an upgrade on the referral bonus, no leave policy change(just 15 days of leaves), no so called VMWare employee perks showcased,nor did anyone come and let us know what policies are coming into effect. If someone is merely passionate about work and who is looking for research kind of roles without expecting any employee benefits, this is the right place for you to be the managers fav.

Product Management department is filled with completely inexperienced people from support side. Company does not make money and VMware is now seeing this as well which is now resulting in cutbacks and hiring freezes across different department . They've hired a giant group of freshers straight out of school because they are cheap and they will do as they are told. Same formula was used at Manhattan Associates This is a good plan to capture good market share but horrible for product quality which shows in forms of bugs and hotfixes across all products.
