As many perks as uncooperative workers

Pros

Great benefits, exciting technologies to work with. Being a VMware subsidiary should eventually pay off.

Cons

You will see mistakes all the time, company rarely learns from them. No follow up on career advancement touted. Very uneven distribution of work load. Some work 6-7h days and others 70h weeks. Quality of products and services never ceases to suffer from approximations and mistakes, a contagious "yes we do everything" mindset and mindless footprint expansion (illusion of extra $). Severely uncooperative individuals and poor communication/coordination undermine overall capacity to execute, as confirmed in analyst reports. Current culture makes everyone look and feel awful with constant war rooms to meet overdue and broken solutions, which are a natural result of dedicating no more attention to any system than 30min meetings.

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.
