Pros

a good product thanks to some legacy, and good people (past and current)

Cons

horrible engineering management, most of them haven't seen the world outside Commvault, so it's like frog in the pond situation for them. They think whatever they are doing is the best thing in the world. You can imagine the engineering practice when basic things (like install, backup/restore) doesn't work every build without needing to fix it. There is no ownership given to individuals and managers control everything. Individuals hardly get a complete picture when they work and mangers stitch things together with few people (they are good only doing this) in their good books. The new fad in Commvault is statistics, to judge the performance of individuals. If there hasn't been a bug fix/close for a day then individuals get mails from managers questioning there commitment and drop in productivity. VP installs every build even before it's made available to anyone else, what is he doing? Lot of favoritism in everything Hiring is a mess - people with no experience get selected if your spouse has good relation with upper management Lot of people (~30-35%) are there because they will do anything without questioning their managers. Release cycles are a royal mess, nobody except the VP knows why are we doing this Because of all the above your work/life balance is gone for a toss.
