RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at VMware full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
I sincerely believed in VMware's overall organization core values EPIC2 . While it's imperative to grow in any industry but at the same time giving back to community where we live, inculcating that culture by way of practicing it at global level, is an awesome way to thrive in any organization, adding to your personal learning goals. A personal growth is directly linked to your professional growth. And, I have had tremendous growth opportunities to grow along with VMware over 3 years.
Cons
Only if I could have gotten a job transfer to global location then I wouldn't have left such an incredible organization, VMware :)

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at VMware full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Lot of Benefits with respect to learning new stuffs. Free food.
Cons
People who started working there are still stuck with their ideologies about outside world as they never saw the outside world other than this company. So its hard to convince them with your ideas.
Advice to Management
Bring some process to have some Annual Technical/Process Review done for all employees and make sure incompetent guys are removed.

RecommendsNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at VMware full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
1. Good pay, bonus and perks
2. Cash Awards & Recognition for good work
3. Superb work-life balanceCons
1. Highly fickle-minded leadership team
2. Frequent re-organizations
3. Brutal and inhuman layoff procedure
The procedure comprises of setting up a meeting in a conference room, with no prior information to the employee whatsoever. The meeting comprises of your immediate manager, a HR representative and a member of the leadership team (Over con-call). You'll be told that you're being laid off and paid two months' salary. You'll then be escorted to your desk, where you'd handover your laptop / ID card to your manager and then you'd be asked to leave the company premises immediatelyAdvice to Management
I don't give free advices. Consultations come costly.
