      Worst Company to work with in Vmware IT team(Bangalore)

      Software developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you remain in company for more than 4 years , No need to work , just redirect the work with out knowing anything. You can have frequent small onsite trips for 2 to 3 days. Dont work Just hire some contractors asked them to achieve the tough task, screw contractors your job is done

      Cons

      Never join Vmware IT team , specially sales team . There is no learning in the team , even on the lunch time , Team would be discussing only office politics , these person is bad, i screwed these contractor etc etc . People have just stayed here for longer time , they dont know even single concept of programming , design , architecture. All the work done by contractors from Accentures , Deloitte. No Learning when it comes to learn technical concepts. Frequent fights between the management and employees . Good people leaving the company only chamchas can stay here

      Great business to be in but work culture leaves a lot to be desired

      Pros

      Good work-life balance, the stock is doing really well and the opportunity to learn VMware technologies that will eventually enable me to work for my own self. Great co-workers: smart and driven.

      Cons

      - Bad managers - Huge trust deficit - Scathing emails are regularly sent - Managers do not know how to communicate - Some AirWatch managers in position of power do not understand basic business principles either, talk about cannibalizing other teams' services without realizing - Southern culture sadly permeates this office: conscious and unconscious bias is on full display, respect for minorities severely lacking

      Bad management

      Pros

      VMware has a relatively high base salary plus some other perks, but over the years the RSU is shrinking to almost nothing.

      Cons

      Bad management level, many managers don't even understand the project his group is doing. Most of the time, they just attend meetings, inquire engineers about some very basic concepts, pass messages and push people to fix bugs, meet deadlines and ask for more resources, that is it. No product vision, don't know how to allocate people and resources to get the job done. They only care about their promotions or keep the job, not the engineers. In VMware, if one is not technical, doesn't know programming, doesn't know how to manage people, but knows how to play politics. He must be a manager.
