      Pros

      VMware is a very important company in the enterprise software market. There are many amazing opportunities to work with great people and to make an impact on a global company.

      Cons

      The new leadership team has caused a departure for many of the top people and they no longer dream big. There is new instability caused by the proposed acquisition of the company by Dell.

      Pros

      Cons

      Micromanagement is encouraged and runs rampant, leading to extreme inefficiencies for most departments at AirWatch. Work life balance does not exist, and employees are encouraged to work weekends and 12 hour+ days without any extra benefit. Certain employees are shown preferential treatment based on personal relationships, and there is no opportunity to work from home. Salary and PTO is below average, and the employee evaluation process is a joke. Most managers are promoted simply based on tenure and have no leadership experience. There is a lack of communication company wide and managers are offered no feedback on performance. There are no opportunities for upward mobility unless you are working 80+ hours a week and working hours are set in stone (no flexibility for working hours).

      Thank you for taking the time to write a review. AirWatch remains committed to recognizing employee’s need for work/life balance and going into 2015 we will be adding 5 additional PTO days and 1 additional paid holiday. We have been experiencing rapid growth over the last 3 years. This type of growth enables us to add more roles and responsibilities to high performing employees. We have a good mix of Jr and Sr level managers that we will continue to invest in through learning and development programs.
