Pros

We have a fantastic leadership team that is very hands-on. They want to help sales get deals across the finish line and are happy to engage. Leaders also welcome feedback on areas of improvement. We have all the tools that we need to be successful when working from home, but when we do return to the office, we have a great space in downtown Raleigh. Our compensation is competitive for the market with equity options, great benefits, cell phone, internet, and gym reimbursement, and unlimited PTO. The Egnyte Platform is a solid product and very relevant across many industries. Egnyte knows how to hire talent to keep product innovation moving forward.

Cons

The company is growing quickly and as it scales there are some growing pains. Process improvement is on-going and can slow things down at times (i.e. approvals, contracts, SFDC, etc).

Pros

Management is focused on adopting best practices and is willing to spend outside of engineering and sales departments. Egnyte is continuing to take market share from larger competitors even during the pandemic. I have worked at many "start-ups" and never have I seen such detailed goals and objectives, yet alone the okay to spend to make these goals and objectives happen. It is exciting to see the changes consistently happening and I cannot wait to see where Egnyte will be at in the next 5 yrs (hopefully a household name).

Cons

The company has gone from a smaller niche player to focusing on becoming a dominant leader. This has and is happening at a rapid pace, and it is often difficult for personnel that were accustomed to the old ways to support the mind shift.

Pros

Great product Team members, majority are amazing folks

Cons

Leadership team are embarrassingly weak, they should be ashamed of themselves All afraid to make tough decision and or say what they really think. Company is run on fear Pass the book mentality If I ignore the problem long enough it should go away Wait until we hire XYZ they’ll deal with issues ABC CEO has a thought, everyone jumps, PQLs, it’s all of a sudden about PQLs, he didn’t know what they were a week ago. CMO hires a consultant to know what to do, has to approve everything, bottleneck, overpowering and creativity stifling environment.
