Pros

* Exabeam is in a good market where there is need for such solutions. * CEO/Execs making some organization shuffle which is in some ways good (pro) and also bad in many ways! * Very smart and aggressive sales team. * Hands down, Exabeam has the best UEBA product which in general beat the competition. * Great field facing people in - sales, TAMs, PS, CS, marketing etc. * Some good engineering folks in the company who built initial product/platform. But !!

Cons

* Absolutely no transparency across the board. Period!. Don’t know what cloud team is working on, what cool new features engineering is working on!. One has to push the other and make sure the general enthusiasm of the team is alive. I don’t see that happening. * Engineering is core for the company to go to the next stage. Its the foundation. It does not matter if you have a kick-ass sales or product team but if the engineering team is not aligned with the market or what product team demands then it does not matter! * Engineering has made some hasty decisions and that has affected some key lead players to leave the organization. If there are no good engineer leads, what good is a reorganization!. This in turn will affect other members in the team and they are left with no motivation. This is a hard problem to solve in any company but you can't just come into the company and make organizations changes without digging deeper!. * Sad to see some good lead engineers leave the company. * All-hands meeting seems like a big deal since it happens once in a while and we are left with no new or rather motivating info. IMO, not everyone are interested in knowing what was presented to the board to that great extent; some good nuggets are enough and you don’t want to rush with everyone’s presentation. Make it lively with some few good examples from sales wins and let people remember with the positives. * Seriously! Still there is no true anonymous Q&A session! Ahh! How difficult is that to make. * Engineering head/management is not aligned with the general health of the innovation. Not seen a roadmap where there is clear vision for engineering. This is critical for a growing company and not seen it. Atleast not publicly! * I think there has to be a CHIEF STRATEGIST in the company it it wants to be thought leader in the space. Cannot just be reactive to the issues and do maintenance. Exabeam has a great product – innovate and push products to the next level. * Strategist is very important. Exabeam has wasted a lot of time in designing the whole data collection piece; Exabeam already had the initial world class UEBA technology and they could have redesigned, incorporated key functionality and made it even more broader and scalable. They could have put in engineers to the core platform and could have enhanced it and commanded premium price for their platform. Not a single innovative feature on the flagship product that they have built on. Forget what Gartner or any other analysts says, you command and have them listen to you since you are the innovator!!! Be one! * Data Collection and analytics is not a easy problem to solve.. There are many companies in the space and Exabeam has some unique advantages. No doubt about that. But what pains me is that they could have been in a much much better position had they made some key decisions! Sales is great, but product innovation has to go beyond ! * Organization shuffle is good, but IMO, it doesn't seem to align with other teams. * Don’t put all your eggs and TIME in A customer maintenance project, let it go and move on. * Have a REAL anonymous feedback/suggestion form P.S I am giving the feedback here since there is no anonymous feedback provided within!

Thank you very much for the candid review and your thoughts on many aspects of the company, including engineering. Exabeam provides many avenues for the team to provide feedback, including anonymous box, Q&A in various forums, and in general an open door policy. As you may have noticed from engineering we have taken additional steps to communicate progress on critical areas through %E2%80%9CTech Talks%E2%80%9D and All Hands. Topics covered have included Quality, Process, Roadmap, and Architecture. Last week we provided a 2020 strategy/roadmap update in concert with Product Management. Please feel free to reach out to me, I am always ready for feedback and course correct as needed. Thanks for mentioning our world-class UEBA technology and that we are solving a difficult problem.

Pros

I love working at Exabeam and thoroughly enjoy my job. This company truly cares for your well-being and personal growth. This is in part of their awesome leadership, starting all the way at the top with the CEO (a big part of why I chose to work here). I have seen the company through its hyper growth, and the leadership and values have remained the same. I am big on leadership, communication, transparency and how it trickles down in a company. I interviewed when the company was much smaller, but it was a great experience and I felt every person I spoke with was genuine (another reason why I chose to work here). They want to see you grow, not only in your career, but personal life as well. I cannot stress how important this is for me, because a company who cares about your growth, is invested in you. I have taken professional development classes (recommended to me personally by my boss), and we have check-in's on my progress. I may not know exactly what path I am going, but I know that Exabeam provides ample amount of opportunities to grow and better myself. For a start-up tech company, it has pretty competitive salary and benefits. There is free (& healthy) lunch every Wednesday, happy hours, donuts every Friday and plenty of snacks and drinks for all tastebuds. I love that they also incorporate healthy snack and lunch choices! This company also gives back through annual volunteer events in the community. There are also several themed company events throughout the year and it is always a good time! It truly gives everyone a chance to connect outside of their departments and hang out with other employees and learn what they do. Last but not least, this company is diverse and continuing to make efforts to stay diverse! You will truly be able to connect with the people here on all different levels. The culture at Exabeam is also top-notch. Culture at Exabeam is a big deal and I truly feel we work hard and play hard. Work/life balance is evident. The CEO, as well as other exec staff have an open-door policy, and I’ve always felt comfortable voicing my concerns and/or asking questions. Management is also willing to listen, just make sure you have your ducks lined up because there are extremely smart people working here. My co-workers are all extremely helpful and willing to do what it takes to get the job done. This is has also become a place of learning for me. If I run into a problem or am unsure about something, I know I can ask my question without feeling judged. Communication, like with any company, is always an on-going issue, but it is evident leadership is taking every step to make improvements. Exec staff preaches no ego, and they live by this. People here are willing to admit when they are wrong, and will work with you to try and fix it. Everyone has disagreements and their own ways to finding a solution, but this company makes an effort to really understand how and where we went wrong. I love this about the company.

Cons

This is a start-up. Hours can sometimes be long, but the payoff is so worth it. Hyper-growth company with the “normal” growing pains (running out of office space, breaks in communication etc.). We move at an extremely fast pace, and that does not work for everyone.
