Pros

Commvault has some great employees Most comprehensive backup solution on the market Benefits are good including unlimited PTO and a zero dollar health plan

Cons

Commvault used to have family-like culture with minimal bureaucracy but there have been many leadership changes over the past few years including an almost entire replacement of sr. leadership in the Americas over the past 6 months. Voluntary attrition is extremely high and layoffs are frequent, sales performance has been consistently poor for the past eight quarters, and morale is low. Last month people were given promotions, and then laid off, leaving people feeling very uneasy about their job stability. Product is comprehensive but complex and account teams keep changing for the customer due to the many changes in strategy and territory alignment.

Pros

1. Paid very fairly at the start. 2. Engineering/development team here is top-notch and better than most tech companies. 3. Founding execs finally brought in new leadership to replace themselves. 4. Have been known to willingly seek outside talent in key areas. 5. If you are politically savvy (and don't mind politicking as a core part of your work), you can progress your career here. 6. Talk the right talk regarding HR capabilities and opportunities; you do feel they care.

Cons

1. Small company trying to grow up, so they trust who they know to attempt to learn completely new roles rather than listening to outside expertise they've hired (hired presumably for that expertise). 2. Sometimes take action without consultation or thinking things through: e.g. changed multiple components of pay structure in parallel and decimated the talent pool. 3. Really need skilled and experienced product management talent (to match with their top-notch eng/dev team) and somehow don't want to acknowledge this; the approach of having eng/dev responsible for all product decisions (like when you were a startup) is unreasonable and not working. 4. Have to be on the "inside" to get any pay raise after joining; they will definitely screw you out of subjective bonus payments. 5. Struggled for years to break $1B in revenue but don't really have the leadership (yet) who know how to do so.

Pros

Great technology. Seriously the best in the industry bar none. Great internal resources. Updated interface is super easy to use.

Cons

Very siloed environment Several RIFs in the past 2 years Company pay is much less than market Management has no idea on how to sell the product or enable the channel Training was sub par. They focused on how to sell vs. insight on the product Management thinks that just because the product is the best in Gartner, it should sell itself. However it is a highly competitive landscape. Ever changing strategy and licensing. In the few years I worked there, the license model changed 4 times. Super hard to explain to customers
