Pros

Had some good engineers in past who built a nice product. But those ppl are long gone, remaining ppl are just big suck ups and they are at mid-level management and can screw your life easily.. I still believe in Dheeraj Pandey though.

Cons

Middle management bad - they are not fit to manage ppl or project, who will openly lie at your face, try to manipulate you (not going into details). Office politics plays a bigger role than talent. Talent pool is sub-ordinate. I have been at two of three best Technical companies, and believe me ppl here would not get to on-site round from them. You are given zero chance to participate in designing which will be done by some ppl close to the manager.

Pros

Learning a great deal about the short and long term repercussions of a few bad business decisions. Learning even more about how an unchecked and unhealthy culture will erode a company from the inside. Competitive offers are being made to candidates as talent acquisition becomes more desperate. Acquisition target?

Cons

CEO is desperately floundering in his role and placing undue blame on the workforce. COO is not leadership material and is a key contributor to the deplorable culture. People abuser, discourages inter-departmental teamwork. Growth has evaporated. NPS rankings do not represent reality and the inflated numbers justify bad behavior internally Culture of the company has deteriorated so terribly and yet a core group of influencers ostracize anyone who doesn’t blindly jump on their bandwagon Shrinking interest from the market. Nutanix has a market problem and Wall Street made that realization some time ago. Nutanix leadership needs to catch up. Over-hiring is leading to dilution and confusion. Incoming talent is less qualified due to desperate hiring practices. Competition has closed the gap substantially yet Nutanix TCO > all competitive products Product is missing key and obvious features that large customers demand Poor acquisition history. Negative ROI. Lack of quality assurance plagues software releases for 2+ years, undermining customer confidence Benefits are slowly declining in reflection of the financial health of the company Raises were deferred without retroactive pay. Bonuses and rewards often go unpaid due to excuses and technicalities. Middle management surrounds themselves with people who will not challenge them. Ethics suffer and the skill gap grows. Disorganized internally, still operating like a startup. Information and decisions are fractured leaving employees to wing it.

Pros

-The insurance is aces! I'm talking top notch, and it's free. -The food is free. Daily lunches, or a delivery option on a few days a week. Snakes like crazy. -Some people are really nice. Some. Maybe about 20% and a handful of managers.

Cons

There is a laundry list of cons. Nutanix use to be a great company, but change always happens and when a company is chasing money like we are, things change for the worse. Now only the dollar matters, the downside is the company isn't making money like they want. Cons below. -Let's start this off right. In sales, you work for the money. The commission money. Otherwise why be in sales, yet here we are NOT even getting all of the commission money owed to us. They made up some poor reason, but we all know it's because we had a BAD earnings call and the stock TANKED. So now we are trying to save every dime, We were supposed to get 25% of our commission that we earned but didn't even get that. It's BS and the money "errors" seem to happen WAY TO OFTEN. Even money won through inside competitions isn't paid out. Either the people cutting checks are idiots or the company our company is just shady. -speaking of pay...we are UNDERPAID for the industry standard in the area. By like a lot. Glassdoor will show you that much if you just do some digging. Not only that, but people that have been here a year or so like myself are making less than people fresh out of college with zero experience. Like 10k less. It's simply not fair. Add in that people on the floor all do the same job, but many make different wages, starts to make it look like favorites are being selected. -We can't keep good people to save our lives. Either the good people don't get promoted for one crazy reason or another and they leave, or good people that do get promoted leave because the company screws them over. Once I thought you had to have managers like you to advance (which I'm still not sure on) but now I see it doesn't matter. Star employees that are liked by management aren't even safe. I'm not even hopeful for my interview coming up and that is sad. -Upper management is a unique bunch of (insert any insult you'd like). Some of them legit care, others I think don't give a flip. They speak of pushing the company to new heights, but there is NO TRAINING for anything to help us get there. There is a training plan in place, so on paper it looks like we have training. In real life we don't. It simply doesnt work. Outside of people in the office (like one guy, and if you work there you know who I'm talking about) that takes time to train you, there is nothing. Upper management knows this, and does nothing. Nothing. Imagine being in the ocean...your boat has a hoel in it....you can't swim...and your life jacket has a slow leak. That's training at Nutanix.
