Amazingly great company

I'm not a developer/engineer but rather a technical trainer. I spend most of my time in front of VMware's customers around the world, teaching them how to use our great software. Previously, I spent 12 years working for another great company that attracted really brilliant, but also really fun, people. I was amazed and delighted to find that VMware has done the same. As someone else on this site said, the hiring bar is really high so the folks here are all more...

A great place to work

Probably the best software job I've ever had; the hiring bar is sky high, resulting in coworkers who are amazingly brilliant and fun to be around.
The company has the culture of a startup and the resources of huge corporation -- while EMC throws money at VMware, control is entirely separate, and VMware management has their head in the right place. Even at the lowest level of engineering, it's possible to exert an influence on the direction of products.
