No Bonus for 2019, 2020, 2021 No incriment for 2020, 2021 Politics at every level. Micro management. Managers will not let you take sick leave. You need their permission to fall sick even during Pandemic No work-life balance because of rotational shifts that does not rotate for 1.5 years. If you are in NA shift, you will be there for 1.5 years No career growth or promotion or switch role. They will conduct 5 rounds of interview same as an outsider. It is much easier to get a job out of VMware than inside. There is no concept of promition to another role or Supervisor or Manager. Its via an interview process and they prefer an outsider to an insider

Health insurance involves an employee co-pay. That is simply not good insurance! Additionally no dental or vision coverage. I am quite surprised VMware still lags behind in this, given it is a relatively low-cost benefit that an employer can provide.

Just had to share this, I got a 100% hike!

I'm keeping this anonymous because I don’t want to disclose it in real life. After two years without a raise, I successfully negotiated a 100% increase at my current company. I focused on creating significant value and worked in cross-functional teams to learn as much as possible. There were times when I was overworked, but it was all worthwhile. I was confident that it was a mutually beneficial situation. My advice would be to choose your job wisely, create value in the right place, and don't be afraid to negotiate.
