Pros

None whatsoever, the product has potential but with such a low priority on QA its just a waste. This company is a disaster on all levels!

Cons

A company with no moral standards and an unethical management that lies, spreads rumors around the office, harasses employees and writes fake reviews on Glassdoor to desperately try to boost the average score and save face before VMware. A CEO who couldn't care less about how his company is doing now that the only goal of being acquired is attained and he can cash out. An incompetent and useless HR department whose only function is to dance to the tune of the MD and try to bully employees into silence!

Pros

Nice MDM/Content-management feature. Nice Products. Nice Business skill

Cons

-Don't think about appreciate if you are not Manhattan employee or if you are not in group of people. - You wil not get valued by your work. - Selected people will get good chance for POC and Patent. - There are atleast 1-2 spy people inside whole team. - Don't think about B1/H1 visa or annual award or Hackathon winner. Its all scripted. - Worst Stat level politics, people are using "state-language" in communication. - Worst QA, I ever seen. - Senior QA's are crapy politician. - They don't have value for their words and promise.

Terrible Place to Work.

Pros

GREAT people (aside from leadership), casual dress, great location

Cons

TERRIBLE work/life balance. Upper Management leads by fear. 95% of employees are working their tails off and have (easily) 120 hours of work to do and are expected to get it all done without mistakes. If you miss even the smallest thing you'll get "do we need to replace you?" The software doesn't perform well enough to keep customers happy, and the services team is the scapegoat when there is a bug. Ridiculous. QA doesn't have enough time to do sufficient testing before a new version is released, but CEO insists on having the most features and functionality at the sacrifice of quality. If you decide to work here, you better have tough skin, be ready to be humiliated and condescended to while working 70-80 hours a week on a product that doesn't work consistently. and I repeat, leadership is awful. Here's hoping VMWare changes that, but being based in Silicon Valley I have little hope there will be any real changes, other than free drinks in the break room. Paid time off is a joke. 13 days which includes sick time.
