Pros

Pays well, with bonuses, RSUs, ESPP, and company match, especially given the recent stock run-up.

Great people (VMware division).

Projects can be interesting.

Brilliant CEO (but layoff happy).

Cons

Average to mediocre benefits. Multiple layoff rounds part of life. No WAH/remote work. No H1/B sponsorship except for senior staff. Projects may not be the most interesting.

Advice to Management

Be more supportive and give frequent feedback.
