Avantages

I have been very fortunate in my career to work for really good companies and I can definitely include VMWare with them. Wonderful benefits and a great working environment. Company believe in growing their employees with plenty of opportunities for training and job movement.

Inconvénients

Just like any company, it can be more about the management than the company. Some managers don't know how to provide expectations and communicate for growth. Have never had a review in the time I've worked there and have no idea what my expectations are.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.
