Pros

Individual contributors are great people. Most enter Egnyte with a desire and passion to succeed. Nice kitchen, with drinks and snacks readily available. Free lunch twice a week.

Cons

Management changes focus frequently. It's as if they have never had a good direction to move to before, so keep shifting randomly. Very heavy politics. Another review called Egnyte a fraternity and that was spot on. Leaders fight against each other publicly and are competing to see who is the most important. Never keeping an eye on the ball. Turnover is like an epidemic. Very few have been with Egnyte for long. During interview, I suggest asking each person how long they have been employed there. Also a really heavy micromanagement culture.

Pros

Great benefits and great people to work with. The product itself is a great and superior product.

Cons

No training. No pipeline. No real support for SMB. You are basically a glorified SDR. Any real leads come from events or if you have good install base accounts. Hardly any good inbounds come and and if you do get a good and decent size inbound, they take it away from you to give to a mid-market rep. The juice isn't worth the squeeze. If you don't mind constantly grinding, go for it. Otherwise, I would recommend looking else where.
