Pros

-Management strikes a great balance between pushing and supporting their teams. -Hours might be demanding at times, but are relatively flexible. If you get your job done, the time you arrive and leave doesn't matter as much. -Excellent atmosphere. Very little office drama/politics. -There are increasing numbers of activities to increase motivation and productivity and general team building, from sales contests with cash rewards to energy drink flip cup to happy hour events. Reading a lot of the negative reviews, I understand where people are coming from in a way. Sure, the hours can be long. You have to work your pipeline, etc., If you are expecting to sit at a desk, skate by, and do as little work as possible for not a minute over 40 hours per week, AirWatch is definitely not the company for you. Those people flounder and eventually fail, and blame the company. If you want to work for a place with endless potential and upwards mobility, where you reap what you sow, AirWatch just might be the right place. 1/4-1/5 of the salespeople on my floor alone have been promoted since I started here 3 months ago.

Cons

Outside of the traffic (we ARE in Atlanta, after all), there aren't a great deal of downsides. There are definitely more training sessions, etc., than many would like, and at times they can feel like detractors from a productive work day. But even if this is the case for 3 or 4 hours out of the week, it still is a sign that management is trying to help you arm yourself with the best weapons to make yourself, and the company, more profitable.

Pros

The work environment itself is clean, professional, and the building itself has nice gym facilities. The opportunity to make great money is available at the top levels. There are some very nice people outside the management.

Cons

Traffic around this place will make you very angry. The vacation package is essentially a joke. The commission structure isn't anywhere close to the best in the industry. The lack of a work from home scenario seems at odds with the image of a modern tech company. The Micromanagement starts at the top and the CEO doesn't seem to know that a positive work/life balance is important. This is NOT a 9 to 5 job and you can forget about having any meaningful success if you aren't willing to work overtime. For example, they told me that the hours are 8:30 to 5:30 however it's really 8:30 to 6 and you can expect to be judged for leaving on time on a consistent basis. The worst example was by far their handling of the snow that recently fell, they were more than willing to let employees risk their safety for the sake of productivity even though working at home could be accomplished quite easily.

Pros

Positive work environment. Plethora of training and product materials available. Sales Managers are available for questions and very involved but do not micro manage. Employees get a long and support each other. Lots of potential for growth and with recent acquisition of VMware things are booming more than ever. Compensation plan for my position has drastically improved since I first started.

Cons

I'm not afraid of hard work, staying late, or coming in early, however I find myself sometimes obligated to stay longer even though I have finished all of my work for the day.
