Pros

VMware has been through highs and lows. I believe that the peak of this company was before it went public. Things went downhill from there till the old execs were fired. With the new management coming in from Microsoft, the company has transformed from a "cool" carefree environment with competent engineers to a hardcore business where you are a cog in the wheel of a successful corporation. You decide which one you like better.

Cons

You are a cog in the wheel no matter what your accomplishments were in the past. Unfortunately senior management (which is fairly new) doesn't know the history.

Pros

Great products, some talent people, nice campus

Cons

Too many layers of management. Very slow decision making process and always "reacting" to the situation. No strong leadership.

Pros

The company is going through a lot of changes, but it has been fun shipping great products, working on cool technologies, and seeing a game changing vision.

Cons

HR practice needs to mature. The company has grown very fast but HR has not really caught up. Need solid mid management.
