Pluspunten

Innovation, energy and excitement about building revolutionary products. In a few short years, VMware has completely changed the way the industry thinks about building their products, as well as how the enterprise thinks about their technology needs. It's exciting to be a part of a place that is so revolutionary. Also, beautiful campuses (Palo Alto, Cambridge and Austin), and fun work environment.

Minpunten

Some processes need to be changed- VMware needs to catch up to our rapid growth, but still be nimble enough to stay innovative.

Pluspunten

VMware is a big company but in many ways had a startup vibe. That was great because the resources and infrastructure of a big company were there, but it gave most people I worked with freedom to work on many projects, influence, move around, and contribute in many ways. Plus, many things moved faster than they might at other companies of the same size. Perks were really great including bonuses, events on the campus, opportunities, etc.

Minpunten

The biggest con is the annual layoff. During most of the years I was there, we were growing like crazy, beating expectations, gaining in stock price, etc. It was always positive and upward. However, every single January, it was known that there would be a round of layoffs, even when all numbers were looking great as they almost always were. Management called it restructuring. But, over the years, some really good people were let go for no apparent reason. Then to add insult to injury, a week or two later, there would be a company quarterly meeting discussing how VMware was doing so well and is still hiring, but they had to make some changes. It always felt dishonest and the sympathy for those let go came across as disingenuous.
