Pros

Nice office and extra curricular activities and off course some travel to SFO. Product is great, but Ops is as usual.

Cons

Leader at top is unbelievably political and has a good equation with SFO colleagues. Godfather- an Indian guy sits in US and makes it feels like it's his company.... All the hires since the last 2 years are from leading IT company and have bought in BPO Culture. It's nothing less than a fish market. The amount of time spent of song and dance - BLITZZ events had it been spent on trainings and quality of work we would have been top notch . R&D seems to be slightly better off. Trust me outsourced vendors do more work than FTE's.

Pros

I am a current employee (4 years) of Air-Watch based out of the Milton Keynes office. The office is over 2 floors and has recently been officially opened by the MK Mayor (who commented on what an amazing space it was, how the business has grown over the last 5 years and the positive impact it has had on the local community), it has great facilities and you are looked after with food, treats and drinks. I have been given the opportunity to progress during my career with Air-Watch, I feel respected and a valued member of the team. The management team are dynamic and have created an environment allowing your ideas and feedback to be heard, this has led to improved process and procedures impacting positively on employees and customer alike. There is a passion to deliver and this is clear from market share and all the analyst reports.

Cons

It not really a con, more of a reality. Bring your ‘A’ game every day, work hard and you will be rewarded well. I know it seems logical, it frustrates me when I read the negative reviews for a company that has delivered unprecedented growth. We didn't become the Global leader doing a half job!!!

Pros

Great work culture Reasonable perks Extremely flexible work schedule

Cons

Utterly confused top management Ridiculous amount of petty politics in office Too many levels of hierarchy from top to bottom for a company of its size Not differentiated from EMC Offerings - so stock values are tied to EMC (and now Hell... I mean.. Dell) from $ 90+ to $48 in less than 6 months is a testimony to the clueless at top mgmt level - but EMC/DELL are pocketing all the cool money from the divestitures/acquistions/mergers
