Great products, great customers and great teamwork!

Pros

- The product suite.... eGain has an exciting market proposition that delivers real value to customers. - eGain's customer list .... who wouldn't want some of those names on their cv?! - The people and sense of teamwork. This has been the one thing that hasn't changed in all the time I've worked for the company. The people who leave comment it's the thing they most miss elsewhere. - It can be a double- edged sword, but the absence of clear structure around many roles provides an opportunity for the self-motivated to step-up, grow and develop.

Cons

I'm listing cons to try to provide a balanced view, but suspect that you'll find the following in any similar IT Sales organisation: - It's not a 9-5 job. If you're not willing to put in the hours to meet the needs of demanding customers, tight deadlines and your colleagues in other time zones then it's not for you. - It's a fairly flat organisation structure, so if you measure your career advancement by the steps you make up the ladder then you'll be disappointed.

Pros

Some great people in PS and support.

Cons

CEO lives in bubble and hasn't noticed any modern competitors. Senior exec team are all friends and very weak. No one senior in eGain has ever worked for a similar competitor. Any one who has leaves after 2 years. If you are thinking of joining look at sales turnover on LinkedIn. This is not a sales focused company. Exec team creates atmosphere of them and us, creating conflict between all teams. Commisions are begrudged and every attempt not to pay made. Meanwhile modern sales organisations with professional marketing, generous comp plans, SDRs, Success Manager (not sales) grow 50% a year... Rightnow and Kana started roughly same time in same area. Both exited at high multiples. eGain has run out of steam and desperately needs new leadership

Pros

Relatively stable company specialising in specialist Contact Centre Software.

Cons

Training and investment in people non-existent. No formal training provided, despite requesting specific training targeted at making current job more efficient, and/or as a stepping stone to possible promotion. Detailed technical training requested at every Employee Annual Review - for 10 years! - but none given.
