How long have you been with VMware? I'm trying to figure out if years of service played any role in deciding who to keep.

Criteria varies by BU/function. My whole team (pretty sure) received offers.
For those still waiting on an offer and have 8+ years of experience, I would recommend carefully considering whether to accept it. The salary remains the same or may even decrease, and the RSUs offered for sales or presales positions are less favorable. PSO has managed to negotiate a better deal, but for Sales and Presales, it's less favorable. You can take the severance if you've served 8+ years in VMware.
Love the downvote brigade on the comments
Uhh, there's like 3x as many upvotes as downvotes, and the least liked comment was only a -4. Where are you seeing a downvote brigade?
39 years, three offers.
Love the downvote brigade on the comments calling out favoritism in this mess. It absolutely happened and now thanks to this delay we get to pretend it didn't.
6 years, FTE offer. Short tenured PD1s & 2s in our team did not get offers.
It is clear that decision was based on how much you make + favoritism - I'm a senior director - no offer - 13 years at VMW
The only people who got offers in my team were the senior managers+ and those who liked their shoes. The selection process was 100% based on whom the VPs and senior directors recommended. They chose their followers. Tenure or talent didn’t come into play
Coming up on 5yrs, received offer
7 years no FTE. Liek they all said, it’s just reference pick not data, I’m no kiss a-s if that’s how they operate then I’m better off somewhere else based on merit …
Five years. No offer.
I manage 12 people. Don’t see any specific data points that drove any of Broadcom’s decisions—not salary, geo, tenure, product line.
My team is 50% offer, 50% transitional, including me. No surprise that I got one if we’ll have fewer people to manage.
4 years got offer but chose to decline
It got downvoted below, but favoritism is the reason. If the few that picked the names liked you, you made it; if not, you didn’t. Simple as that.
My whole team got fates. The team is made of multiple people with less than 2 years and people with 14+ years. P6’s compensations were downgraded. Looks like the criteria is to determine whether an org/team/person are deemed profitable or useful for whatever BC’s plans are for the future (assuming those clowns actually can build a plan).
At this point where the deal seems to be doomed, who know if FTES allocations will remain. This is a complete mess 😡
😂 😂 😂 that person was here less than a month an got a letter! Freaking priceless.
13 Years, FTE offer
deal should have happened over the weekend latest. Still no approval, looks not good. Deal will be scrapped.
I’ve been here 12 yrs and haven’t received anything
Started 28 Sept this year, FTE offer.
Favoritism gets you an offer.
There is no correlation, don’t bother and you won’t figure it out getting data from here in any case..
6 months FTE offer
3 years FTE offer
