Pros

Great product, competitive pay, quality workers, financially stable.

Cons

Don’t work here if you’re a woman. You’ll always be second class. First are Indian males. Then Israeli males. Then all other men. They pushed out our top notch executives that were women and replaced them with more Indian males. CEO complained about having to meet “female quota” for hiring and was dumb enough to say that on social media. Google “Egnyte hiring quotas” and an unflattering article will appear that supports this. Read it for yourself and think if this is the person you want as your leader. Beyond that, CEO suffers from founders syndrome. You’ll never make a penny in equity and basically be working all the time. No one is happy - all the culture on social is about as fake as the 5 star reviews on this site.

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.
