Pros

salary and benefits on par with industry. very knowledgeable and capable core employees (most might have already left as of now).

Cons

notorious in-crowd culture--either you're in, or you're out. rampant POLITICS throughout the company which seem to be driven mostly by middle management who prefers to place their employees in silos as a way to sever communication and collaborative efforts amongst teams. daily gossips and back-stabbing is not uncommon.

Best place I ever worked, and Broadcom will destroy it

Pros

VMware is the best place I have ever worked. Of course there are always things you could complain about, but ultimately, VMware pays its employees well, treats everybody with respect, and encourages employees to develop themselves. The company goes out of its way to do nice things for its employees. i'm going to miss VMware and all of the people here once Broadcom destroys the culture and lays off 90% of us.

Cons

It's easy to get pigeonholed into a job here, but the company will continue to promote and incentivize you financially to stick with it. There are a lot of tenured directors and senior directors that are in over their heads. Good people, but are not qualified for director level jobs other than having worked their way up at VMware.
