Don't Trust Senior Management

Pros

100% remote work, PTO, coworkers within your own department are great to work with.

Cons

Do not trust a single word that comes from the CEO's mouth, nor his cronies on the executive level. Remember Puppet? No? He's why you don't, and he has made sure to cull anyone who was around before he stepped in and has tried to inject any integrity into the position. Since he took over, a number of job functions have been outsourced to India, and nepotism has run rampant in several departments including Dev and Support. Grandiose promises are made to the rank and file but never materialize. Speak up and get "asked to leave" for some made-up excuse. Conflicting messages from upper management about how great we're doing one week, then how we need to buckle down the next. Very aggressive language and word choices when giving directives. From a 10,000 foot view project management is a joke. All too often Project Managers are juggling more than three dozen projects at the same time, and this gets passed on to Professional Services engineers to deal with. PMs also take the brunt of the flak when things go sideways even for things that are not their fault. Speaking of the PS engineers, it's not uncommon for them to have at least a half-dozen projects ongoing at any given time, and there is no grace given for managing other requirements of the job such as achieving bonus targets without having to put in time after-hours for no additional compensation. Development fights tooth and nail to not be helpful sometimes, esp. if you try to hold them accountable. Diversity and inclusion, particularly for LGBTQ+ employees, is paid lip service at best. Compensation is below average for what the market suggests, and "Freedom PTO" only applies as in "We have the freedom to terminate you if you take too much PTO," even with good and legally defensible reasons such as family deaths, illness, disasters, and the like. That said, if you're Indian, you're golden and can't get fired even if you set the building on fire. Good luck proving that in court, though.

Pros

Commvault has by far the best product in the industry. I hear this time and again from engineers who work with the product and who are NOT employees of Commvault.

Cons

The company bogs down the sales reps with way too many administrative tasks that have little to do with helping customers or growing revenue (think extra fields in SFDC and account plans). This was a company where I spent 40% of my time on administrative tasks for middle management and 60% of my time on customers (either administrative or building revenue). The sales training I took was literally "sales training," and far too basic. There was NO training on the products.
