Women have been leaving VMW in droves. Looking back, we feel pretty smart about it. Pat did NOTHING for women at VMW except make useless committees that do nothing. All the women I know that have left are much, much happier than when they were at VMW.

  3. Unlimited PTO, which you can abuse to ensure you get laid off next round ;-)

Other companies provide paycheck, paycheck and paycheck, too. You do not need to stay at VMware to get that. That is for sure.
