VMware Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Worked since 2019. Excellent technical people. Erratic management."

"Working with VMware was an incredible experience for me. It was the first time I had an opportunity to work with over 300 high-level engineers on cutting edge technologies that we were able to improve upon, since we worked as the in-between with the programmers and the senior level administrators who worked for and advised the largest companies and governments around the world. In my VRealize and Orchestrator department, the pace was hectic, and training was mostly, “in the trenches”, hands-on troubleshooting and discovering bugs, as well as determining future needs which we worked closely with the programmers to resolve and improve. The pay, due to so many high-level engineers was well below par, but all of us worked there for the love of the technology and the people, not the salaries."

"Good place to work. Mgmt will give importance for show-off folks."

"VMware is a great organization and innovative. The company and leadership sets the company on a great path."

"VMware is a solid employer"

"I've worked here since 2012. It's ok as corporations go. There is a lot of emphasis on innovation which is quite exciting but on the other hand there is also quite a bit of uncertainty regarding methodologies. There is a lot of talk about agile but the way it is implemented doesn't really make sense. Since the company has so many products at varying levels of maturity the one size fits all approach is creating problems."
