VMware Employer Reviews

VMware was a great place to work and I envisioned working there for many years to come. Unfortunately after some company changes a lot of jobs were sold off. Job security with this company is at an all time low with more centers being built overseas.

Excellent employee skills improvement options.
A big number of trainings, courses and classes in area of interest.
Excellent sport and social, good atmosphere, good life - work balance.

I was very happy with my time at VMware and would recommend the company to fellow job seekers. Management was always there for support and guidance, and proved to be excellent mentors. The work environment was enjoyable - fun and laid back, but work was the priority. Their on-boarding process allowed me to really get a strong understanding for the position – more... and I always felt encouraged to ask questions. Top notch employers! – less

An ever rapidly growing company still hiring people around the globe.

That said, we are all usually very busy with customers and tasks.

There are lots of learning opportunities and exciting products.

Managers are a big question mark as I have had bad and great managers, so I guess management is okay as far as average is concerned.

Hardest part of – more... the job is dealing with the phones and the most enjoyable is to be able to learn and cooperate with teams around the globe. – less

Fast paced environment, helpful peers, learned many aspects of EDI orders, Software licensing and SFDC

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.

The product is fantastic, the engineers are brilliant but management is lacking. I loved the job and did very well.
What I learned is even by being the top performer in the company your job is still not secure
Benefits are great but they kept trying to control my earnings by changing targets with out ever discussing them, so they tried to cut costs – more... at my expense and for someone that's in sales.. im out to make money not give it away. In my opinion this company is channel orientated and not sales orientated and once the competition has finished coping them they will loose a huge amount of market share as the competitors are sales driven – less

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. My coworkers and management were very friendly and team oriented. Often when problems come about, we handled it with a mind to fix – more... the problem and to not point fingers. I – less

A high level of collegiality and cooperativeness between teams. Management very accessible, open to input. Very professional. Smart people.

Working on the latest technology amongst a group of very highly skilled and knowledgeable team members. Every product issue at VMware is tackled with great expertise and meticulous attention to details.

I always work from 8 to 12 hours per day and I am able to learn everything about the Company that I work for. I like to take care of the Management and their team members. I also like to assist the co-workers. I have never had a difficult time because I love to work all the time and take great care of my boss.

Dynamic, constant change (in a good way), going through adolescence as a company

New management is too focused on meeting street expectation instead of thriving for innovation

leader in virtual space. everyone saves money by virtualizing until server capacity catches up. huge volume of customers.

A good company with lots of employees located in Palo Alto, Ca.

It is one of the best company I worked for. It is a 10,000+ company still has entrepreneurial spirit.

Competitive pay and benefit, innovative products. Good culture and dedicated group of employees.
