Pros

Pioneer in Big Data Analytics field, adoption of new technology early, open work culture, fun environment. The new focus of management to create repeatable business from existing solutions, focus on building the Guavus platform and creating apps ourselves and also opening it to larger external community to build apps on top of Guavus platform will lead us to faster growth and momentum. Guavus is now Guavus, a Thales company and that should help to develop scale quickly and go after large deals and move in other verticals beyond telecom. So very bullish on Guavus right now. Guavus has always been a employee friendly company and doing cutting edge technology work which attracts top notch engineering talent. It provides good flexi office environment and fun culture, macbooks, nice cafeteria and so on. The perks and benefits are common to all employees regardless of levels and grades and we promote a open culture. Eg. All employees travel business class where flight times exceed 12 hours for the comfortable travel. Next month, we move to the newly built office as well. Exciting times ahead.

Cons

Have been underachiever and below potential in terms of customer revenue and growth but that should change now.

Pros

The original vision was good, and the CEO has his heart in the right place. The engineering product is very good and they have some great (but wasted) talent.

Cons

Where to start? Sales team sucks big time. Endless sales cycles with multiple teams working for nought. Can't figure out what they want to be; a platform or a product company and it's too late now. Middle management is full of highly incompetent people; some directors don't know the basics of analytics or technology which is shocking and would be comical, but is downright tragic. Not transparent at all; at least in San Mateo office. No long term vision, work is strictly just to do the bare minimum to please whatever little number of customers that exist, and presumably to appease the investors by making quick money. No investment in people, and as such you are treated like another warm body till someone else takes your place. You get hired and put to work on pointless, mind numbing work. Options are diluted as hell, so no one is making money out of this endeavor. Compared to other valley companies, zero perks.
