The only thing good about this place are the benefits.

Inconvénients

Hearing about all these layoffs makes me really sad for people, but I think they should consider it a blessing. I'm so much happier since I left 2 years ago. My mental health has greatly improved! Cons: - Extreme Micromanagement by the C level senior staff. I had the unfortunate experience of working closely with a C-Level Executive. I was constantly belittled and put down. My boss was a former navy seal so they had a particular mindset, their way or no way. It was extremely toxic and cannot believe I let someone speak to me like that in this day and age. - They expect you to work past clocked hours. Also, there were constant unexpected/unscheduled calls to my personal cell phone. Just because I didn't have small children, should NOT give you the permission to call me at 9:00 at night. It was a truly unpleasant experience and the worst job I ever had. I knew it was time to go after being told the following: "You're bad at your job." (Instead of providing constructive criticism.) "$30,000 doesn't get me up in the morning." - The God complex was astounding. Then they had the audacity to roll their eyes when I spoke about my experience in a meeting with HR. Extremely rude and unprofessional. I hope they see this and know who they are. :) I'm now with a company that appreciates me and my boss is wonderful. :)

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.
