Pros
Good product for marketing , nothing much that i can think off
Cons
Would categorize as , technical , Operational , HR , Sales , support , Engineering Technical (Product related) : -Single platform : sorry cannot be true always . Its like too many cooks spoil the broth , so many features clubbed into 1 platform !!nice for sales but not so nice for engineering/support - Sorry but the Commserve cannot be installed on non-windows OS - Easy to tweak the SQL DB and modify the tables/values on CS . Security compromised to the core !! -- You need to disable AV !! Why in the world should i disable Anti-virus on my servers , other vendors do not have any issues with the co-existence of AV AND BACKUP APPLICATION , in most cases engineering says data is corrupt because there is AV installed . Will be surprised to know how the product will work in a host running real-time AV scans !! - The list goes on and on. HR : - HR in India office is dummy , its just a medium to relay information to the employee while firing !! . HR works from direct orders by the VP /director of engineering/support . HR is not an independent function here . Not sure about HR in US - strategies designed overnight OPERATIONAL : - Lot of favourism . - Work culture is very informal which could be an advantage and a disadvantage - Senior management team works on direct orders by US senior management - Manager in India does not have the same powers as that of their US counterparts SALES : - Life is miserable for contractors and to some extent sales rep . - cost of PS is way too high !! ENGINEERING : - Technical interviewers are useless when conducting interview for new employees - Working in commvault you will just get a good commvault product exposure but no additional skill sets - No budget is spent on non-product related trainings - only the VP/director dictates terms , opinion of other's are considered useless - RSU's given only to higher management , profit is not shared with employees - Movement to other department is very much internal and is not open , favourism again !! - Hire and fire rule applies here !!
