      Pros

      People at vmware are some of the brightest employees ive ever had the opportunity to work with. Most are passionate about the products they create and are dedicated to producing high quality results. Pretty good benefits...pretty standard. The campus is nice and there's supposed to be an indoor gym coming next year. Well see how that affects work productivity. Free snacks and drinks in each building. Besides all the perks, i would have to say the best reason to work for vmware is the technology we have created and the new technologies that you will see in the near future.

      Cons

      Seems to be getting too big. A lot of positions arent really needed and could be scaled back. Well see what happens if there is any kind of reorg.

      Paul Maritz came into a firestorm and has done a good job of stabilizing the organization.

      Pros

      VMware is a highly visible company with great technology. The datacenter movement towards dynamimc processing and a mobile workforce puts VMware in place to make tremendous strides in becoming a household name.

      Cons

      Management is extremely unprepared and lacking knowledge about the product set. There is a lot of "handing off" where management is incompetent in handling customer requests and the workload falls on the staff. There is also a high level of paranoia within the walls of VMware. They monitor several websites for any employees posting their resumes. They are particularly preoccupied with Microsoft stealing customers with their new virtualization products.

      Pros

      Vmware has an incredible team of dedicated employees and technologies. Each individual contributors works to support others. Career opportunities outside the company are increased based on VMware experience.

      Cons

      Promotions are very difficult to achieve regardless of time or accomplishments. Pay is not competitive with other companies and similar positions. Use of vacation is discouraged unless done as a few days at a time.
