Pros

Pays well, with bonuses, RSUs, ESPP and company match, especially given recent stock runup. Great people (VMware division). Projects can be interesting. Brilliant CEO (but layoff happy).

Cons

Average to mediocre benefits. Multiple layoff rounds part of life. No WAH/remote work. No H1/B sponsorship except senior staff. Projects may not be the most interesting.

Pros

Excellent compensation with strong base pay, bonuses, and quarterly RSU vesting that truly rewards performance. The company moves fast with clear priorities and strong financial results. Management is straightforward and execution-focused, though the pace can be demanding. Great for those who thrive in a high-performance environment.

Cons

High pressure with occasional work-life balance challenges
