Pros

VMware is the only place selling innovative system software, and making real money at it. While you can do systems work at other companies, those companies are selling either hardware or support, and the fact that your contribution as a software engineer doesn't drive the business will undermine the importance to your management of the work you do.

Cons

VMware has grown very, very fast over the last couple of years. There are a lot of new employees to enculturate, and a real risk that our culture of excellence will get diluted.

Pros

Great company, great product, great people. VMware is a technical leader in Virtualization, and my coworkers are the best and brightest I've had the privilege to work with.

Cons

VMware doesn't do a good job of hiring from within. In most cases rather than promoting a current employee to a new management position, they will look outside the organization.
