Pros

Generally a good company, excellent marketing department & lots of industry buzz. Great product & strong NPS. Best role is enterprise rep.

Cons

Complete lack of leadership in the global program for over 1 year. Sales leadership non-existent, finally cleaned house at the CRO level. No focus in spite of long standing acknowledgement of the lack of a "real" global program by senior leaders. Clearly the focus is selling to existing accounts & expanding the base, not willing to make the necessary investments in facing off with the global 100. Lack of global structure & organization leaves handling the top accounts and seasoned sellers in the hands of inept regional micromanagers with no experience in developing the worlds largest opportunities. Unrealistic expectations of converting greenfield accounts into a run rate business in 12 months. Low morale and focus on SFDC hygiene instead of thinking and acting strategically. Daily deal review calls serve to punish sales force & waste precious time.

We sincerely appreciate you taking the tine to offer your candid opinion. It is unfortunate that your experience as an Account Executive did not match your expectations. The one thing all Nutanix employees, from our Sales VP’s down to each individual rep, share is a common vision, keeping our focus on our short and long-term goals. We are clear about what we are trying to achieve and emphasize this vision to every sales employee. We strive to get full buy-in so that each rep is working not just to hit her number or improve his performance, but to accomplish the end-goal that every Nutant is working toward.With the scale in company like ours, there will always be change. It is part of our DNA. As Nutants we are striving to adapt to these changes in terms of structure and improving our sales force and toolkit hygiene. - Nutanix Management

Pros

The product is solid. Not a lot of complaints from the client base. The benefits package is good flexible work schedule

Cons

Middle management is too busy jockeying for position to strategize Too much DNA from specific companies. The sales force is Ex NetApp, mostly, creating a monolithic sales structure that cannot change its style to adapt to changing sales landscape. Good for short term and possibly disastrous for long term. SE org full of talent, except in management. The WW head of the SE group hires people that will not challenge the organization to get better. Instead of creating an organization that is tactical and proficient, ineffective process and myopic vision are what is "executed" on

Pros

As usually the case, there is a standard of good people and technology here.

Cons

Unsuspecting candidates are lured into working here under the pretense that benefits are better than industry standards, then unceremoniously reduce them and inadequately adjust compensation. Management then attempts to hide this through censorship, removing VERY popular Slack channels and replacing with moderated ones. Worse is senior management are so out of touch they think employees won't figure this out. Company has a LONG way to go to be considered truly enterprise class. Recent decisions and moves have brought into question their competence to get us there. Company isn't profitable and management can't figure out why. Management lack of business acumen taken out on workforce.
