      It is less important to be good now, it is more important to be part of the right team

      Pros

      - Interesting and innovative technology - fast growth market - customers ask for product

      Cons

      New policy is to change many people because they were here before and the new people wants to bring in their team. This is demotivating. There is lot of energy spent internally to look good to management instead of working to help customers. When I joined, it was not like this. The aspects of team spirit seem to be gone now and each person is trying to keep their job more than anything else.

      Pros

      There are many brilliant people at VMware who have done wonderful things; this gives a great opportunity to understand and learn good system building.

      Cons

      The company is already too big, so the potential for growth is not too much. One would have to be at the right place at the right time to make a significant impact on the company.

      Pros

      Hot technology - or at least it was till ~ 2 years back. Big players seem to be moving in the market now and it is not clear whether VMW has managed to keep lead. Buzz in the area.

      Cons

      Internal processes non-existent - company grew too rapidly in last 3 years for its own good. Too many top management changes in last few months - as an ex: 6 CIOs in ~ 3 years. Too much arbitrary decision making, lack of transparency, mutual back scratching at the highest levels. Lack of focus on key non-product areas like customer satisfaction, internal business processes, IT applications. Poor flow of information - downwards or upwards - for a company of this size. Amazing focus on empire building rather than organization building (again gven the size of the company, it is dis-proportionately large). Lack of accountability ramapnt in the whole organization - senior 'powerful' people have lot of visibility and power but it seems they are not held accountable when things go wrong - again and again.
