Vantaggi

- Management is very open with employees about their decisions - Flexible time management - Company wide holidays - Company's commitment to open source - The managers I've had are not only technically savvy but also great people

Svantaggi

- Some projects are very specific to the company and it can be difficult to get up to speed depending on the quality of the documentation - Uncertainty regarding the potential acquisition by Broadcom but overall people seem exited about it - Felt discriminated by a member of my team for being latino, nothing too bad, some comments about my accent. Fortunately 'twas only that person from the dozens I've worked with

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
