VMware Sr. Software Engineer reviews

work pressure. empathetic attitude to employees

Oh boy where to begin: 1. Company has no vision. Management does not know what the heck they are doing. They keep changing priorities. Managers on top of managers on top of managers who dont know or do anything 2. They cut 401k, no raises this year, no promotion, bonus delayed, all this was done so they dont have to fire ppl. and guess what they fired a bunch of people. two layoff cycles this year already. not to mention they went ahead and acquired a bunch of startups . Pat, Dell and execs getting paid bigly while commoners suffer 3. DNI : oh boy, another disaster. it's a free for all. doesnt matter if you can solve basic algorithm question you are hired if you are DNI. doesnt matter that you dont know basics of time complexity of system design, if you have a certain color of skin. 4. no growth personally/technically. stock going nowhere. no concrete vision for growth. you will hear "oh but work life balance " that is BS. you will come here thinking you will coast and soon you will become dead weight. unhireable outside. you will think this is a steady company, you do whats required and you are safe, wrong, one day they will just fire you out of the blue cz "priorities changed" , at least if you work in amazon, apple etc stock goes up and you get rewarded. vmware is a deadbeat, it's done, over.
