VMware reviews

I spent nearly 8 years of my career life at VMware and I made many friends and poured my heart and soul into the company. For the first few years it was the epicenter of innovation, but soon too many laid off employees from Cisco came over and changed the culture. It evolved into a place where everyone was jockeying for a promotion and the team environment soon dissipated. Sadly, some managers purposefully make it a mystery how to progress in one's career. I loved VMware and was sad to leave, but leaving and going to my current company was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

AirWatch has an extremely young and inexperienced management team. There is no leadership or professionalism. They have no clue how to manage so they resort to micromanagement. We are constantly monitored for work hours, activities, etc. The work environment is hostile and unprofessional. It is apparent they do not believe in retaining talent. You cannot attract and retain the right talent by micromanaging!! I have never seen managers this unprofessional. There is a high turnover. Since people are quitting left and right, we are left with ridiculously heavy workload and they refuse to hire more employees to distribute the workload. Despite the heavy workload, Airwatch pays extremely low salaries that are far below the market. There are too many changes that are ineffective. We have something new everyday. VMware needs to step in immediately to improve the work environment by replacing the management and set policies to make Airwatch a decent company.
