Amazing Company with Great Benefits
Accounts Payable Clerk (Former Employee), Palo Alto, CA – May 1, 2013
VMware was a great company to work for. This company is in the Silicon Valley and was fairly new at the time I started there. I started working there right before it went public. This company had the best team to work with everyday. Everyone respected each other and highly valued their position. I enjoyed working here very much.

Wonderful experience for someone new to the SaaS industry
WW Professional Services Business Analyst (Former Employee), Palo Alto, CA – April 11, 2013
Pros: free breakfast, stocked snack rooms, great benefits
Cons: lack of room for growth
I have worked at VMware for almost 6 years and while I was there, I was able to learn about how a company grows and the steps necessary to make sure that the growth happens in a manner that best facilitates the company.

A company with growing market share and customer adoption.
Server Performance Manager (Current Employee), Palo Alto CA – January 7, 2013
Pros: a lot of opportunities to learn advanced cloud technologies
Cons: it becomes slower when it becomes bigger.
Its growing and its changing.
I see how a product succeeds, how a product fails, how a solution is built upon various product lines and how this integration makes business sense to the end users.
very interesting experience and exposure.

Political, stressful environment, poorly managed
Former employee (Former Employee), Palo Alto, CA – November 8, 2012
Cons: miserable work environment, no work and life balance, no respect for the working team
Management is old school, abusive and hostile. You will lose your creativity and aliveness due to the fearful environment. There is constant firing based on personal and style reasons. It is so sad at VMware.

Great company
Product Management Intern, vFabric Data Platform (Current Employee), Palo Alto, CA – November 2, 2012
Great facility, location, compensation.
People are supportive and easy going.
It's technology driven company so tech background would help.
It used to be a start-up but now is a big organization. You may hear people complaining about the change of culture & style.
