Pros

1. Full stocked pantry 2. Decent package

Cons

1. Hundreds of non-technical middle managers. Micromanagement and politics became core of this company. 2. Ineffective HR, I was harassed by management when I put down my paper. New tasks were being assigned after my resignation and I was threatened not to be relieved if those were not completed. I had to involve HR for that matter and HR refused to intervene. 3. No job security, frequent layoffs. 4. No transparency on whatsoever is happening in the project. Engineers are treated as dumb executor.

Pros

Spent 2 years as director of Engineering at VeloCloud. It was the most traumatic 2 years in my life. The toxic culture, the racial biases, the clear fraud, the clear corrupt directors is insane. How does VMWare allow such corruption. Remember this, VeloCloud will be the drag that will put VMWare out of business. It will only need some of the employees to come together and sue for racism. Cases for racism are so clear and can easily proved.

Cons

This is for VeloCloud: - Toxic. - Fraud. -Corrupt.

Pros

decent base and bonus with less stock

Cons

Desperately cutting cost by moving project to India. High quality, innovative people and high performer got laid off just because they are in Palo Alto. Yet, they hire team in Palo Alto to do the new, critical, and most difficult part only to lay them off once they got a good job done.
