Pros

-Administration and HR do their best to move new hires to departments and positions which best match their education and skill set should opportunities arise. -Standard corporate benefits are guaranteed for all full-time employees, including healthcare (primary, dental, vision, and HMO), paid vacation time, 401k, stock plan purchases, and life insurance. -Company hardware and software are provided to all employees free of charge, primarily a laptop, charger, and any necessary programs. -Relocation and travel assistance is available to employees who must report to their designated office and travel frequently on company time. -Time schedules are highly flexible, employees can begin their shift at any time and leave after they've accomplishes all their goals for the day. -Quarterly bonuses are awarded to employees if eGain is "gaining" with regard to goals and revenue.

Cons

-If you are based in the main HQ in Silicon Valley, and transition to a technical team from a trainee, don't expect to earn the minimum salary in The Valley for the role you obtain right away. Your salary will stay the same as it was when you were a trainee until you exceed your performance review. -No union. These are essential for all companies as the union will negotiate on employees' behalf for safer working conditions, better benefits, and higher wages, all while protecting said employees from unwarranted retaliation. -Paid family and sick leave are not provided and must be taken out of one's vacation hours. -Diversity varies greatly among each individual team. But the engineering teams are the least diverse, with most employees of those teams being of Indian descent. Not a problem working with them at all, but certainly not diverse either.

It's Impressive How Bad It Is Here

Pros

Most of us on the Sales team are looking for other positions right now, and have each others' backs. Management is about to experience a rude awakening with the impending mass exodus, though it's debatable if they even care

Cons

-Terrible Management that continuously switches sales strategies -Demo system glitches out 80% of the time on customer demos -They force you to use company slides that give customers "Windows95" vibes - No marketing team to support you - Even when you do build rapport with a customer, the SDR team in India will continuously blast them with spam, reducing any chance you have to maintain credibility -eGain can't actually scale fast enough to keep up with a large customer, so they would rather have you close smaller deals first - Many reps have complained that they've been "screwed over" by the company when it comes to commission
