Pros

Egnyte offers competitive compensation and benefits packages. Most of the people are hard working and easy to get along with. You'll find that the culture within the work force is very team oriented and they do their best to overcome obstacles.

Cons

Some of the executives promote and establish an environment that includes aggressive behavior, public humiliation and colorful profanity. You may appreciate their direct approach but often times you feel like you are being bullied. You rarely hear from them unless they feel you've done something wrong and you are never rewarded or acknowledged for your achievements. They tend to not value the employees that keep their business growing so that affects employee morale and implements a high turn-over rate. During meetings, it's not unusual to be cut off mid-sentence and interrupted with thoughts that are felt to be more important than what you are conveying. Because of an overall lack of manners and courtesy for others, the surroundings can be hostile and your job security feels unstable.

Pros

Great teammates and product. Room to promote.

Cons

Startup changes such as territory changes constantly and rep changes. However, it is due to standardizing the sales discipline that was lacking before

Pros

Amazing place to work staffed with a group of people that is as diverse as you can get. I have never worked with a smarter group of people who are mostly all pulling in the same direction. The product is the best on the market and the great news is the market is finally taking notice of this. Management is uniquely well acquainted with the product, which is something you only get with a company whose original founders are still running things The office is a great place with all the typical Silicon Valley perks - open environment, amazing kitchen and a very social atmosphere happening within and between all the departments in the organization. Management is approachable and genuinely concerned with what is happening both front and center as well as in the background. In fact, I think sometimes they take too much to heart and quite often do not act as soon as they should with certain "problem children" in an effort to give them one more chance at success.

Cons

Just like anyplace else, there are great days and some not so great days. As an "up and coming" company, all the facets of the jewel are not as polished as they would be in a more established organization, but this should be considered part of the charm as it is one of the warts. Late stage start-up on the edge of profitability, you have to take the good with the bad but I do feel the former greatly outweighs the latter. A lot of other reviews complain about the turnover in some of the management roles, but I don't see it as being any higher than any other company in a similar stage in its development, which can only be described as a "work in progress".
