Pros

Stable job, decent pay package

Cons

Certain teams have people moving out due to lack of growth, access to applications and processes are not handed over to folks in certain countries . Management pays deaf ear to any training queries.

Pros

Absolutely no pros, same old heavy software with add on features with multiple code upgrades frustrating customers

Cons

I was from a very friendly employee oriented company in India. Leader in storage. Bad choice choosing commvault sales, their pay and perks were good. But too political organization and not a friendly environment. I would advise anyone who would think to join commvault because of the money they offer. I quit in 6 months, could stay in that culture more than few months.

I am sorry to hear that Commvault didn’t meet your expectations. It is our goal to have our employees thrive and have the freedom to make an impact in their work every day. We have a strong commitment to our people, environment, and culture. This is demonstrated by our enrichment programs, like Vaulters Voice-our internal pulse survey, Women in Technology groups, cricket teams, fun clubs and our annual hackathon just to name a few. Our strong culture of ‘bring your personality…but park you ego at the door’ and ‘save the games for the break room’ was one of the many reasons we were recently the proud recipients of the Great Place to Work certification. Feedback is always important to us and we take it very seriously. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and I wish you the very best moving forward. - Huzefa Motiwala - Director - Systems Engineering

Pros

None. Really. There are so many things, that are wrong with Commvault, that I am really struggling to come up with something positive about it.

Cons

- US management is very disrespectful to UK and AU branches. C level management have no problem cursing at you on the phone - HR department is divided on multiple locations and is very incompetent, slow and rude as well. I left half an year ago and I still don't have all the neccessarry papers they are obliged to provide me, when leaving. Because of the missing documents I can't do properly my taxes and most probably would pay fines for this. - Team leads and team managers are threatening to fire you directly with no warning - No respect to your private life and time - they call you and demand you to work overtime and they don't accept no excuses - They lie about the job and position itself - presenting it as one, but after you start working it turns out to be something completely different. The trick is that nothing is written in the contract for job description or everyday duties. They also give you a little higher salary in order to trick you into signing. They do this because they don't have enough people to do all the workload, they obviously are not capable of handling. People are leaving very often, but that is also hidden from you. - The almighty main software, called Commvault(Simpana in previous years) is biggest lie they sell to customers. Actually even the sales are not very good as more and more people realize what garbage Commvault software is. On paper the almighty Commvault can do everything - from VM backups, to tape backups, DB backups, volume and LUN backups, etc. In reality the thing can't do any of those properly. The software is so bad, they are forced to hire loads of new people just to handle all the tickets and issues coming from clients.

It sounds like you are very frustrated. Our culture and shared values include passion, respect, and integrity which is why your comments concern me. Your experience at Commvault is not the experience that any employee should have. As a growing global organization, we have HR partners located around the world so that every Vaulter has access to regional support. Since our beginning, people have been the center of our success. Without our talented teams, we would not be where we are today and continue to enjoy the success we do. I am really sorry to hear that your comments about our product. I do find it surprising though, as for six years straight we have been recognized as the leader of The Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Center Backup and Recovery Software. We also have a 98% satisfaction rate from our customers. While we are not perfect, all things would indicate that we are moving in the right direction. I want to assure you that we listen to all our current and former employees’ feedback. This is one of the reasons that we offer various channels to share your thoughts with us. I encourage you to reach out to me directly if I can assist you in any way. Jesper Helt – CHRO
