Pros

Egnyte has done a lot of things right. Kudos to the CEO and E-team for laying down the vision and most importantly, sticking to it even when it was not fashionable to do so. Some of the contrarian things that they did and which are now being validated are: 1) Taking a hybrid approach from the get go 2) Shunning the freemium model 3) Not getting sucked into "unicorn mania". The company has consistently refused to raise more money than needed. It's no coincidence that we are one of the most capital efficient players in this space. Egnyte has a flat hierarchy, interesting problems to solve and co-operative colleagues in all departments. You will be given the chance to take ownership of problems and solve them. There is minimal bureaucracy and just the right amount of creative chaos. The potential here is huge. The EFSS market is a hot space and Egnyte is also entering adjacent markets like Data governance that are even bigger. Our product portfolio is getting validated every day with newer customers signing on and also with industry analysts like Gartner consistently recognizing our differentiated solution. Egnyte is currently in the Leader's section of Gartner's EFSS market quadrant even though we have raised a fraction of the capital raised by the others in that quadrant. If you are driven and are willing to go the extra mile, you will shine here and will be rewarded. This is not the place to be if you are expecting a typical 9 to 5. You will be challenged and stretched.

Cons

Brand name recognition could be better. 401k is currently not matched.

Pros

Working for a SAAS company that is consistently growing can be challenging at times, but it comes with the territory. However, what isn't as standard in this industry is the close working and personal relationships you form with those you work with. Egnyte has this and more. From our CEO and Co-Founder visiting each of our office locations to the after-work get-togethers, this company shows true interest in their employees which fuels our desires to work together as a unified team in order to be the best in the industry! We work hard together and we see the rewards together! Great place to work!

Cons

Nothing that stands out

Pros

I have worked @ Egnyte for a number of years now and can honesty say that this company is fun, easy going and has a great culture. Egnyte has great Tech and a really bright future ahead. If you are looking for a company where you can learn along side some really sharp people, than this is it.

Cons

Egnyte's biggest challenge is name recognition, this will always be a challenge that needs much effort.
