Pros

VMware is an Industry leader in virtualization. They have a beautiful campus and generally good, smart people.

Cons

On many occasions, middle managers are not acting on the best interest of the company, but rather working to increase their own influence and fiefdom at the expense of others. Job titles like "Director" are achieved as a way to increase one's salary, with some of these so-called directors directing little else than their own work, whereas some have 2 or 3 direct reports in total.

You be the decider

Pros

Big corporate company Corporate pay Corporate benefits (holiday/food/drinks/eye&dental) Great company activities throughout the year Relaxed atmosphere Relaxed work wear Great opportunities if you find them and ask

Cons

I have no cons, I don't know if that's because in my team everything is fine, but a lot of the cons seem to be from a time long ago, defiantly not now. There are cameras all round AW and if there was dodgy stuff going on it would have been dealt with. No one has time to give favouritism to another employee, there are too many rules now with the integration of VMware. Conclusion: You be the decider of what VMware AirWatch is. Everyone is different and everyone is entitled to their opinions, but my opinion is most of the cons are from a long time ago and they haven't forgotten

Pros

Stellar place to work with end-to-end focus on product delivery and reinventing client meta-services. For anyone looking to learn how to drive impactful decisions and re-conceptualize business supply chains, any position in the market-driven team is great. Our CEO at the time, Mr. Marshall was always available for any personal questions or concerns and I am sure Blake will be just as great come September.

Cons

Sometimes the work requires proactive problem-solving but management is always there to help you cultivate growth and overcome challenges.
