Hello Everyone, Got an offer from VMW in thier CPBU bangalore. How is the team look like in terms of tech advancement and the wlb? How about RSU refresh? Im offered a staff 2. Base :70 lakhs Bonus: 14 lakhs RSU: 150K USD over 4 years. Jb: 8 lakhs Yeo: 15 Current TC: BASE: 55 LAKHS BONUS; 11 LAKHS RSU: 125K USD
Ask for 200k rsu
Any thoughts on the team and culture?
Team and culture not that great. When I was there they expected that this new guy will do things differently and add more value to an existing product. More value can be added when there is new product development but on existing products which are in maintenance phases - value can't be added on day one. I am talking about US culture. Don't know much about India. U heard things have improved for the better overall after new management took over . Dilpreet is overall a talented person but expects a lot from the team . So forget work life balance.
One thing for sure you will learn many kool things at vmware in this team. So cutting edge, mainly dominated by smart people from Bulgaria and if you love to code this is your place ..
Wlb is very good.. learning opportunities will be limited. Congratulations on th offer
You got a good offer. But CPBU hiring is freezed and they are not hiring for the next quarter atleast. Are you sure it is CPBU?
CPBU has a couple of teams that work with teams in other time zones. I was in one in the US and the wlb was horrible. Mak sure there are no nightly calls. They'll go on for a long time.
Offer for BLR location seems reasonable.. base can go little higher but may be negotiate on RSUs.. btw..next hike is going to be almost 18 months away for you if choose to join. All the best!!
CPBU is very big and each director/manager sets the tone for the team culture. Feel free to dm me with specifics of the team if interested
Whats your current TC?

RSU hike is much lower. Try to negotiate more
