Pros

Job-protected parental leave, if you believe.

Cons

Don’t believe what they advertised about job-protected parental leave. They don’t care about it when they let you go. I was laid off during my parental leave and when I asked the HR staffs how it could happen as the leave is job-protected, they coldly answered with brain twisted law words w/o any care about me as a real person. I feel very disappointed about how they treated me unfairly after have been working there over many years.

Pros

- Good salary. You are paid more than what you do - Decent benefits - If you like a 9 to 5 job, this is a perfect place

Cons

Glassdoor should not worry about the 5 word minimum, since there is plenty to say here. - Very politically toxic environment - Lots of nepotism. Positions are opened up, but you already know who is getting it. - Most managers do not have a direction because their career itself does not have a direction - Even the basic things which you need to make your job more productive are provided. You have to literally plead for things Note: This is not VMware, but AirWatch management.

Pros

AirWatch is now VMWare, so, technically AiWatch does not exist now. VMWare has good salaries and good benefits for what you do.

Cons

The days in Milton Keynes look numbered for many people. There have been redundancies and it looks like there may be more as the portfolio changes and the old AirWatch products merge into VMWare products. positions in Milton Keynes will be under threat (in my opinion) in 2017. The rate of change is rapid and it looks like VMWare has not been idling over the past two years. Management is still painting a rosy picture but you would have to be stupid not to see through that - and AirWatch Employees are in general not stupid.
