Pros

Free tea and coffee Free parking Pretty good health benefits

Cons

No work / life balance Inexperienced managers who are right out of college with no management experience. They have big egos but do not know how to lead or manage. Management has no idea what they are doing. I am surprised VMWare would want to attach their name and image to this company. Management by fear No efficient processes or procedures Very high stress, very long hours Attempt to have an image as a modern, hip company, but it is run in a very controlling way. The company provides apps to help improve business from any location, yet they do not let their employess tele-commute. Very hypocritical. Training for new employees means bombarding new employees with excess information, and then throw them to the wolves. There is no real learning. Extremely high turnover rate, for a reason. Many hierarchies that actually create work inefficiencies. PR group does a good job of manipulating the public by pretending this company is good. They prefer meeting deadlines at the expense of putting out quality products.

Pros

Young work force, generally fun environment.

Cons

This company is filled with highly unprofessional management. They play favorites and cheat the system for their favorite employees by cheating to help them meet quota. Also, there is call activity you are monitored on. There are not many smart people left in the sales department, the good ones have all left. AirWatch underpays employees, the salaries here are well under industry averages. The employees who have left have seen their salaries double at their new jobs. It doesn't take talent to succeed here, it takes you playing into the politics of this ridiculous company and having a manager help you cheat your way to quota. Do yourself a favor and don't work here.

Pros

Good base salary, lots of young people around. Opportunity to learn.

Cons

Little or no professionalism in the way management behaves and communicates. Career path very uncertain, they will contradict themselves every now and then. Salary will remain stagnant year on year, high attrition rate. Your colleagues quitting has a very damaging effect.
