Pros

Location, Industry is growing, Hardworking colleagues, Many good leaders

Cons

Egnyte recently appointed a new CFO. Unfortunately, this person does not uphold Engyte's culture of respect and work-life balance. The CFO is extremely patronizing in meetings and emails, rude to the subordinates and disrespectful to peers. One never gets a chance to get a point across in meetings because the CFO is always talking in a tone of superiority. In truth, the CFO is often wrong, and frankly under-qualified for this position. To compensate for the lack of knowledge for this role we are made to work 80+ hours per week, working weekends, constantly trying to keep up with arbitrary demands and deadlines. This CFO seems to over-commit and then drive the employees to the ground to try to keep to the unrealistic commitments.

Pros

The Egnyte platform is a good product with many satisfied customers, which makes the job of selling it much easier. For European customers, there is excellent support with a datacentre in Europe as well as a large Engineering & Tech Support office in Poland. The four founders are still leading the company with lots of passion, and they are always willing to support our local customer engagements.

Cons

With the fast growth that the company is experiencing, many internal processes don't get adequately documented making it harder in the beginning of the employment. There is at times, a need to be online late in the evenings to work with the back-office departments in the HQ in Mountain View.
