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.

Commvault Response

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

Pros

Great product, great support. Very flexible, you get a lot of autonomy. Great colleagues. Have a clear vision on the product.

Cons

There are rather a lot of management layers. They also tend to go overboard on the rules and the procedures.

Pros

Management team for Support Organization have mostly been in the role I'm in now and understand the challenges

Cons

Whilst not a requirement, or even an expectation, I do find that I work late most nights.
