Great people, fast but stable, large technological scale

Pros

I frankly did expect that Egnyte will be such a great place to work! The best thing here are the people - friendly, helpful and really fun to work with. I also really like that it's a startup but which is managed in a stable way that gives you confidence that your job is safe here and that things will only get constantly better. The tech stack is really big in every way and gives you a lot of opportunities to learn and make things better (as of now 100+ engineers working on tens of apps in Java, Python, Goland, deployed in 3 physical datacenters + cloud, a lot of automation and great use of open source).

Cons

As this is >10 years old tech company it does have some legacy tech which is a pain. Some architectural decisions are not pretty. Some people are still working "the old way".

Pros

Great product, much better than competition Flexible working, not chained to your desk Contribution to gym membership paid £34 Car allowance £500, better than nothing I suppose Healthcare plan ok Pension, they finally put one in place because they had to, worse pension ever !

Cons

UK office is diabolical, just awful place to work, no privacy, terrible acoustics, if people on the phone you can’t hear anything Parking is a joke Distance from train station even worse, why Bracknell, slow slow service station line Exec team needs a shake up, run by engineers. UK sales leaders all 3 so far fired, just stupid ridiculous bad hiring from US exec team. Almost all staff resigned and left due to the most recent one. So slow to make decisions and put things in place No operations support, long evenings on the phone to get simple stuff done. So frustrating because you can see how good it could be. UK team always made to feel inferior to the US No investment being made in UK
