I’d like to hear from someone who joined #vmware through a recent acquisition (#carbonblack #heptio #bitnami) about their offer letter? Was there a salary or equity change? Did you feel like your level/title was fair? Were you surprised by anything?

I’ve heard mixed things from folks who came over. It seems like in general many Heptio pay bands were comparable so no major changes. I’ve heard a few folks who had adjustments in base upwards but a lot of the same.
One difference: VMware has a bonus system while Heptio did not. So that’s more $ across the board.
There was a small group of folks in the same level at Heptio which got split (e.g Staff Eng at Heptio to either Staff 2 or Senior Staff at VMware). That raised some eyebrows.
I received a decent chunk of VMware RSUs (over 4yrs, 1yr cliff) as an additional incentive on top of existing Heptio options. Less than I would get on the open market, but Heptio stock was $$ so I’m not going anywhere for a bit while that pays out.
