      A little overwhelming, but to be expected

      No opinion of CEO

      I have been working at VMware full-time for more than 8 years

      Pros

      Great benefits, and work environment

      Cons

      Lots of politics as expected from any big company. I think vmware has a bit more of it.

      Advice to Management

      Top 3 levels of execs need to get back in touch with the roots of the company i.e. the engineers. Seems like with multiple layers of management, due to some bad actors the engineering teams suffer badly.
