Pros

It is a good company in terms of technical research. Very vibrant and competitive environment. Lot of opportunities to learn

Cons

Management may not be the best you experience. Fun is limited by the amount of tech saavy guys present in the company.

Pros

Vmware has Very flexible hours. Lots of free food, free drinks, nuts, once a week salads, beer bash and excellent place for growth. Technical soundness

Cons

I dont see any downsides. May be the only downside is that its a small company and may be bought some other big fish

Pros

Salaries and benefits are great. Corporate culture is laid-back, not cultish like Google, not confrontational like Microsoft. You're not expected to work 12 hours a day. Stock options were a good reason, but not so much anymore with the collapse in the stock price. Politics is mostly absent here; you get promoted on ability, not ass-kissing.

Cons

The plummeting stock price. Chaotic management changes. Parking nightmares. Too much isolation between groups; there are some groups which are off completely in their own universe and are in dire need of some heavy-handed technical cleanup, but there is nobody with the authority or desire to do so. The cafeteria at HQ sucks.
