Pros

- Engineers are skilled. - Team members are usually friendly - There is a sense of doing 'new things' - Benefits like insurance, work from home options, leaves, gym, memberships are good.

Cons

- Non existent management in Engineering, managers are like senior software engineers at best. - Poor communication across all levels. - Each team is a silo very little cross team communication. - HR is next to useless, you'll meet them only on the first and last day of your job. - Unprofessional conduct and communication by managers. - Little to no trainings for employees to develop. - Zero employee development plans.

Pros

Lunch is provided in office quite often

Cons

To clarify, I can only speak to the experiences had on my team, which was the Velocity team sitting in Fort Lauderdale, responsible for selling Commvault’s SaaS solution. There is a complete lack of direction and guidance, which is easily felt but never mentioned. New hires were frequently confused due to poor onboarding, being told different things from different management. Lack of technical resources for the team, which I think is due to a lack of respect for this particular business unit within the company. You will be told not to get lunch with your coworkers outside of the office so as not to distract you from your work, while that same individual leaves the office at 2pm. Accountability is non existent. VP will tell you she doesn’t have to like you as a person if you make her money lol. Worst turnover rate I’ve ever seen. All in all, it is a very poor experience across the board and I recommend to stay away or proceed with extreme caution.

CV Support - A toxic, devolving culture for a once great company

Pros

This company has built a very reputable program which provides their end users with a lot of capabilities to backup and protect their data. Truly at the pinnacle of backup solutions and has held that reputation for the better part of 10+ years in the industry Perks are also very good in the sense that you can work remotely (Even pre-COVID), PTO is adequate, benefits also well...... benefit people

Cons

All of my pro statements hold true for the most part, but it fails to describe the ever devolving toxic culture that Commvault has been, or is further becoming. Granted you see all of the success stories and fun pictures of people going to events and seminars...... but what you don't see is how some of these said individuals who attend them treat others within the company Commvault is notorious for not only hiring lackluster managers and supervisors, but that also further enables them to hire other equally incompetent people into a management role. Can't tell you how many individuals I have encountered here who ride on the coat tails of their "Best Buy" experience as a driving point for their success. I mean hey I've worked on desktops and HO/SO networks for the latter of 15-20 years, so with that logic I should be in the running for management too right? But that couldn't be further from the truth. Instead others who are much more qualified and adequate at their jobs, get badgered, bullied, or even exiled out of the department by said management, to the point where they are suffering from anxiety attacks, and sucking up all their available PTO just to survive their employment. Career growth is very few and far between, that is, unless you're "buddy buddy" with someone higher up than you. Raw talent threatens these kooks, which is most likely why more of the talented employees are held back and left in stagnant positions in the company Speaking of PTO - even though they claim that it is "unlimited" don't believe any bit of that. Managers/supervisors will micro manage those who work from home more than others (often for viable personal reasons such as bereavement, health issues, etc) and use that to leverage "disciplining" people who are trying to utilize it. But I guess you must sign your soul away when you promoted by the management team that has been put together at this company Then there are other departments..... such as licensing, or development. Somehow SLA timeframes do not jive with them, so you basically have no coordination with anyone there in the event of an emergency. Should you actually get someone on the phone, you're greeted with disdain and that winning Commvault negative attitude that builds onto the toxicity. So how do such esteemed individuals get promoted to management you say? Look no further than the toxicity that is senior management. The heads in charge who have successfully driven Commvault's internal reputation into the ground. Since the new CEO has arrived, he has done his best to cast away all of the tenured employees with some ridiculous excuses and severance pays (ya know - the people who made this place run like a fine oiled engine), push the majority of their jobs over to India, and gradually remove other resources and job opportunities for anyone who is ambitious enough to work (or stay) here With how the market is, and how other companies are offering job opportunities at much better rates than what Commvault has to offer, unless you're desperate look elsewhere for a support job
