Pros

Great work environment in general Play hard and party hard culture Market leader in mobile management Great benefits

Cons

Post vmware there was been a culture change.Bonus is good but the recent lay off have left bad taste for everyone. People were fired even though the company is doing great. Airwatch is being treated as stepchild of vmware and airwatch people are slowly getting replaced.

Pros

Free Ac cab (only thing i can think of!!!). May be some improvements in facility due to VMware taking over but very recently

Cons

Where shall i start. Have been with Airwatch for past 3 years but have not seen HR for more than 10 minutes if i recall correctly. There is high level of politics in everything. Especially in QE. The work is 99% manual testing with automation only in talks and that too only privileged few get to work on it. 1) Hiring is based on which region of India you belong to or whom you have been recommended by. Managers team is dominated by one sect. 2) Promotion is just a myth if you are not a favourite. Same with hikes or other perks. Freshers who come in sometimes get more than people who are experienced. Not sure if its due to management not good with numbers or purposeful. 3) Onsite - Forget it if you are not favourite or one recommended by favourite. High point is someone being sent who is sure to put papers on coming back from onsite. Funny part is everyone in the team knows. This includes the person who recommended the culprit, sorry for lack of not getting any other word. The lead of the person also knows. If the people in management who take decision on travel matter knew about this then i have nothing else to say to you. May be the message then was happy vacation. However if you did not then you will come to know about it shortly.
