Pros

Core Nutanix HCI really is the best product/technology on the market for hyper-converged infrastructure, however, VMWare is quickly catching up and leveraging it's strong market position to box Nutanix out of deals. Health Care coverage is great.

Cons

Sales quotas are unobtainable at the ground level - a very low percentage of sales teams make quota quarter over quarter. Sales management continually uses fear and intimidation tactics and are more concerned with constant salesforce updates and daily forecast calls than enabling sales teams to sell. Unlimted PTO is specious - you end up taking less vacation while Nutanix gets the advantage of keeping a liability off the books.

Our commitment to our customers is one of the foundational pillars of our business.

Pros

Perks are ok, location is good, food, snacks are ok, gym is average. Perks are ok, location is good, food, snacks are ok, gym is average.

Cons

Engineers who joined early much before ipo behave as though they can do anything and everything. Be it the hiring process or internal, they form a team among themselves and move things accordingly in their favor. Very greedy people, never satisfied with their compensation and play invisible games to project themselves to get more credit and perks. Many engineers who got frustrated with these things left the company in 4-5 months.

Exclusive, gossiping people + bad management

Pros

Great benefits (free food, massages, company parties, insurance, etc)

Cons

Management is awful and they treat you as an employee who works for them rather than someone they want to work with and get to know. People work nonstop; there is no conversation. The work environment is not welcoming. The people are exclusive. They have their own cliques, create private jokes, and constantly gossip about others in the organization. Nicknames are often created about team members, and when a man consistently bothers a woman, it never gets taken up with HR. As a new employee coming into this environment and watching this unfold, it becomes intimidating to talk to coworkers that would probably turn around and stab you in the back. They like to contract people out and tell them they'll most likely be hired in 3-6 months as a full time employee. In reality, most people are contracted for 6-12 months before they are brought on full time. They'll keep extending your contract. Pay is not competitive at all. They offer you the lowest amount they can and tell you that's that, even after you come back with an offer from a different company that is SIGNIFICANTLY higher. Their offers are ridiculously low and not market price. Do your research! They like to hire new grads so they can lower the price and get cheap labor.
