Pros

VMWare is becoming more involved and hopefully changing the culture at Air Watch.

Cons

The entire business model of AirWatch is finding the cheapest possible labor. They usually hire recent graduates who have no idea how underpaid they are. Most of the people who leave usually find jobs that double their former salary at AirWatch. They exploit smart people who join Air Watch from their Wandering Wifi division by paying them extremely low wages and use their lack of education as an excuse. There is a reason why the moment the most talented people are leaving Air Watch at an alarming rate. Don't be fooled when Air Watch claims to be one of the best companies or best paying companies. That stat is all VMWare, Air Watch is nothing like VMWare...the only thing they share is a name.

Pros

Co-workers are great, that is the only redeeimg thing.

Cons

Everything. There is complete lack of communication. Sales does not get commision plans that are correct, nor are they ever paid out correctly. We have to rely on accounting to send correct comissions and you dont ever know what you are being paid for. They switch our territories and regions and dont let us keep any of the accounts we spent so much time on. The CEO is awful and no one wants to get promoted so you become in his line of vision. This is a total bait and switch. If you are young and straight out of school it is great. The recruiters inflate how much we are going to make, and the length of the sales cycle. DO NOT WORK HERE.

Pros

Current industry leader - hot sector Brand recognition within technology

Cons

Political, zero integrity of some senior leaders, lack of trustworthiness, low employee morale, mass exodus of outstanding talent. It's just not worth it.
