Growing business, but at a cost

Pros

- Business is growing. - Still some great people there. - Great benefits and nice offices.

Cons

- Business is growing, and the company is expanding...but at the cost of the culture and work environment. - I agree with so many of the reviews here, the new wave of senior management are all in the old boy network (EMC or Oracle) and they are not necessarily the best people for the job, especially here in APAC, and yes, too many layers. - Extremely political. A lot of empire building. - Culture of people covering themselves, pointing fingers and blame. Even some of the good people end up doing this in order to be able to survive in the company. - Inept people managers. Some of them should never be allowed to manage people. Low EQ, can't motivate, drain morale, untrustworthy and have no problem sacrificing their own team members to save themselves. Unfortunately these seem to have become the hiring criteria for Director and above roles over the last year or so. - No career progression (they promote the career lattice as opposed to ladder). - Lack of strategy and planning (unless you think a revenue number is a plan).

Pros

Benefits were more on the plus side along with salary (depending on what you negotiate, and or who you know as they like to play the system). If you like immature leadership, this is the place for you. The new headquarters is a nice facility, we used to be in a window-less co-op building that felt like a bunker (but that doesn't matter).

Cons

Always late to market with no more innovation. Very disorganized in execution, delivery and internal organization. Horrible moral with employees scared to talk and network. Re-orgs every quarter with big ones once or twice a year along with role changes so you will never really know what your job is.

I want to thank you for taking the time to leave a review and I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling this way. I hope you have found a next opportunity that matches what you are looking for. I'm really excited about the culture that we have built not only in our headquarters but right throughout Commvault as a whole. I have a deep commitment to continuing to build our culture and continue to make Commvault a place where everyone enjoys the freedom to make an impact, together. I know we don’t get it right every time and clearly, you have experienced it differently. However, we would not be recognized as one of the best places to work in New Jersey if not for an immersive employee experience where people feel valued, can grow, innovate and accomplish a lot, and we have accomplished a lot! We consistently deliver the most innovative and comprehensive solutions which is also why for 7 years straight have been recognized as a leader in this space by leading industry analysts like Gartner and Forrester. That said, I get your point and acknowledge your concern that change happens frequently at Commvault. We must continuously evolve our change management approaches to minimize the difficulty, confusion and disruption. I also have to stress that change has to be a constant when you are in one of the fastest changing and most disruptive parts of the tech industry. It is exactly that ability as an organization to pivot, course correct and change that has powered our innovation and results for the past 20 years and also what will propel us for the 20 ahead.

Pros

Great Technology. My management chain was great all the way up.

Cons

I was 8 year employee with good/great annual reviews. Was never given stock except at hire and was told 2% pay raise was the norm. They regularly gut the sales team ( I was not in Sales ) and seem to now have difficulty attracting top talent in this area.
