AirWatch Reviews

Pros

Airwatch is a fantastic company for people fresh out of college looking to add experience to their resume. The many hats you wear will assure you a fantastic spectrum of qualifications you can add. The dress is very relaxed and management is never on your back if you are doing your job.

Cons

Unfortunately, they are a small-mid size company with A LOT of growing pains. Communication from upper management to employees is practically non-existent. Most public information has to be discovered through the Atlanta Business Chronicle. They will also pinch as much "salary" out of you as possible. Meaning, be prepared to put in 50-70 hours a week without any added compensation.

They tell you essentially - you can become part of any team as long as you do well and show a continued interest, however, there are several 4-6 year veterans whose "promotion" from the inside is viewed nothing more than "lateral" from the outside. Also - Airwatch employees should now information that will be made public BEFORE it's published in newspapers or online.
