VMware reviews

TERRIBLE work/life balance. Upper Management leads by fear. 95% of employees are working their tails off and have (easily) 120 hours of work to do and are expected to get it all done without mistakes. If you miss even the smallest thing you'll get "do we need to replace you?" The software doesn't perform well enough to keep customers happy, and the services team is the scapegoat when there is a bug. Ridiculous. QA doesn't have enough time to do sufficient testing before a new version is released, but CEO insists on having the most features and functionality at the sacrifice of quality. If you decide to work here, you better have tough skin, be ready to be humiliated and condescended to while working 70-80 hours a week on a product that doesn't work consistently. and I repeat, leadership is awful. Here's hoping VMWare changes that, but being based in Silicon Valley I have little hope there will be any real changes, other than free drinks in the break room. Paid time off is a joke. 13 days which includes sick time.

I've been in the workforce for 15 years and this is BY FAR the worst company I have ever worked for. Management and upper-management does not care about their employees. You will often be thrown under the bus by your boss. Work-life balance does not exist because you are on call 24/7. Giving it your all is not enough and never appreciated. PTO is bad, no sick days, and insurance benefits are expensive.
