    VMware Senior Manager in Palo Alto, CA:   (Past Employee - 2009) (Sneak Peek)

    4 of 4 people found this helpful

    Pros

    Salary is decent enough.
    A chance to work for a company with disruptive technology.
    It's better than being unemployed.

    Cons

    Exec staff cares nothing about the employees. Bennies are cut right and left.
    Lack of coherent product and corporate marketing efforts.
    For a company with 6000 employees, there's an overabundance of Director/Sr. Director/VP/Exec VP types. There are Directors reporting to Directors.

    Advice to Senior Management

    Instead of trying to differentiate yourself from Microsoft, you have become Microsoft in culture.
    As soon as this recession ends, you will leak talent like a sieve.
