Pros

Very capable product, licensing models have simplified greatly. Great support team, individuals on the ground care and want to support customers and grow the company.

Cons

Extremely Poor executive team. Company direction changes every 6 months (product messaging/alliances), even with the new management team who have now been in place for a year. Awful channel strategy, all talk no investment in people to support this. Direct marketing and lead generation is non-existent. Marketing in general has always been poorly invested in. Hevig acquisition has been poorly planned, still hasn’t been fully integrated into the frontline sales team. Senior EMEA/Regional leadership changes far too often. Nepotism an issue with new sales leadership, not to mention recent under-qualified hires in key leadership positions. Also recently enforced (US/Can) requested (EMEA) that all employees sacrifice 10% of their salary while the stock-based compensation of the leadership is unaffected, this from a company with $250m in the bank and no debt.

Pros

Great technology and a talented pool of employees.

Cons

I was at Commvault for a year. I joined a sales team of 6, only 1 original person remains, a long termer. My manager, his manager and the guy who referred me all gone. Via Linkedin over the last 6 months I see there is a steady flow of leavers, many key personnel. The culture is one of finger pointing and blame from the top. The issue is a business wide one. Attrition always exists in this industry, but I have never seen it this high. The constant revolving door policy says it all. Wake up Commvault.

Disgraceful - Going Backwards

Pros

Commvault has a great product, Sales and Pre-Sales teams are heading in the right direction with experienced enterprise leadership at the helm.

Cons

The APAC PS team is a circus with no leadership and even less direction for the enterprise space. Great technical resources but cowboys at the best of times. Mindset and actions are still very much small business. In APAC, the power broker is a long-term employee promoted based on tenure, the business has outgrown current level of competency, capability and business professionalism - toxic cronyism at its best ..... As advised by many others, the company in APAC have to move on the poison within to prosper.
