      A good company that lacks culture, teamwork and continuity

      Senior marketing manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great virtualization technology that is used by many of the F500 companies. Customers love the technology and are interested in how to leverage it to save their IT costs. Having the customer support and validation was what was exciting about VMware and its products. The Palo Alto campus was a very nice place to work, along with the perks of the unlimited snacks, drinks and coffee.

      Cons

      Lack of culture, teamwork. A lot of the management team was focused on their accomplishments without any acknowledgement of how their teams assisted in these accomplishments.

      Good company in the midst of a painful reorganization.

      Business Outlook

      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.

      Don't know what's happening at the top and hoping for the best.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great people to work with - very intelligent and dedicated. Great technology. It's good to be leader in the field. New campus is nice place to work, very open and bright. Lots of new products being developed. Senior management is doing some things right and cleaning up some departments.

      Cons

      Lack of transparency with new upper management. Lack of trust. Lack of opportunities for career growth except for few people. Many rumors being circulated because of lack of open communication. Big brother feeling with EMC. EMC is not visible but seems to have a big role in the company.
