Pros

Literally the worst company culture and environment I've ever worked at. No pros.

Cons

See above. Constant turnover, nepotism from the top down, product doesn't work, engineers are not listened to, sales people cannot make their number.

We had our bad days but things are looking better. Not sure what kind of nepotism is referred, this is by no means a family owned company. We have made great strides with our product and customers are delighted to use it. With our open door, open communication policy any employee can anonymously make suggestions or criticize Cavirin policies and processes. It is not our policy to comment on individual employee's performance. We wish you best. BG, VP Engineering

Pros

Not many pros. Great product and market space, but no strategy to move it forward.

Cons

The CEO just isn't a leader. I saw one review where the company came back with a response ".... It is unfortunate when workers have to be laid off or let go, but to leave people in roles where they either can’t perform or where their talents do not align with the needs of our customers is a disservice ..." Therein lies the rub! Why have the owners left the CEO in his role then? Talk about not looking at the cold, hard facts. The entire team needs to be realigned with some, ANY, kind of strategy and leadership. No one knows what the next move will be. Other cons: terrible vacation package not commensurate with Silicon Valley companies, expensive (and not great) health benefits to cover our families, low pay and long hours to the engineering talent, cheap mindset. Management has no clue that we are all on the lookout for better jobs and have an insecure feeling in general. It weighs on the atmosphere and nothing is transparent.

Hi - Thank you for your candid views. As we leverage a great product, team, and market opportunity, I'm sure you'll see some real progress over the next few quarters. Dave G - VP Marketing. We are now new Cavirin. We realigned our priorities, retargeted the focus and rejuvinated the product. We are better Cavirin now. But, we have to admit our vacation policy is in-line with most Silicon Valley startups. Everyone has a choice to work for a company or not and know what they are getting compensated. We do believe our benefits are competitive. We are sorry your experience was not as exciting at Cavirin. Wish you best. BG, VP Engineering
