What Makes VMware EPIC
VMware’s culture is based on a set of shared values expressed through the acronym EPIC2: execution, passion, integrity, customers and community. At VMware, you will be a part of a community of people who prioritize teamwork, authenticity and approachable leadership —on the job, in the community, and worldwide. You will feel empowered to think big and bring your full, authentic self to work every day. That’s what makes our culture epic.
A core value that encourages collaboration and high standards. VMware teams debate and discuss, and then get things done. Egos are checked at the door, and shared work is focused on impact, quality and efficiency.
Challenging the status quo. VMware people are encouraged to follow their curiosity and pursue the seemingly impossible to continually make things better for customers, products and each other
Building trust. Employees are expected to say what they do and do what they say. The company encourages peers to build and nurture relationships with one another, customers, partners, shareholders and the community —without taking anything for granted.
Make everything possible. They are core to VMware’s mission. The innovation that flows out of VMware frees customers from constraints and enables organizations of all types to meet their toughest technological challenges.

Community acknowledges connection. Employees are encouraged to approach each other with open minds and humble hearts. Opportunities to serve by dedicating time, talent and energy are plentiful. It’s not unusual for a company to develop a set of core values. VMware stands out because its values are a living, dynamic part of the workplace—a major reason the company earns “top employer” recognitions every year.
