Pros
So, VMware as a company can contribute to a lot of prestige, that's the main reason why you'll find most colleagues here or people outside trying to join. The office is currently really small, but we will soon move to a new building. You have drinks, coffee and tea for free. Many activities are done during the year. Callouts with incentives, good salary, gym, food card and other perks. The colleagues are nice, really nice. The trouble are some managers who think too highly of themselves.
Cons
Currently the environment is not nice at all. There are obvious things that are strange. Not everyone is treated the same way, from at least some managers you notice straight away who their favourites are, this is not cool as you also notice who they "don't" like, and are therefore treated unfairly. Unfortunately this happens in at least 2 or 3 teams, and no one dares to say anything. There's generally a lack of vision in the office, which is obvious as this still needs to roll and deploy. But even so, many will start looking for something else the moment 7 or 8 months are over. Remember, no one leaves the company, but everyone leaves the manager. We've seen already some performing colleagues being fired without any logic reason at all. This creates a cloud of doubt over the management's incapacity of growing a person, being good at conflict handling or neutral when taking a decision. What a shame.
