Pros

The product is truly exceptional with world class support and excellent engineers.

Cons

From 2012-2014, Unitrends was one of the fastest growing tech companies for data backup and was a truly enjoyable place to work. Then the powers at Venture Insight ousted most of the upper management and it has been a disaster ever since. New CEO Kevin Weiss took over and promised a huge upswing in marketing (marketing is almost entirely non-existent), promised tremendous lead flow (can't remember the last lead that came in) and despite everyone's protests, further divided the sales floor into private and public sector (they only just got rid of that flawed plan and put things back to the way they were but not after laying off near 40% of the company). Moreover, I used to love working here. Now, if you don't gel your hair or talk superheros with certain managers (aka drink the kool-aid), you can hit quota, not be disgruntled or an otherwise distraction and still get fired. Never mind the fact that quota is almost completely unattainable.

Thank you for recognizing our products, which continue to win industry awards and customer acclaim as the best in the business. And you're right, your fellow employees in customer support and engineering are tops at what they do. I'm sorry that as a current employee you feel so negatively about the company. I know as the VP of HR I would be happy to spend time with you to understand your specific issues, as would Kevin Weiss, our CEO. If you choose to stay here, I would recommend that you work with us to address your needs rather than air your grievances anonymously, and in many instances, erroneously. Please come see me, you know where I sit.
