No care about employees.

Pros

The direct teams were great; team lunches, nice working environment, contribution towards gym.

Cons

No care towards employees during pandemic. Cut jobs across the board globally whilst still increasing revenue... all the comments below are true so no need to reiterate them. It was a great company when I was headhunted by them but when management started to change, so did the culture. We were all booked to go to SKO and then it was decided to have roadshows, so that the executive team could spend more time with the teams globally... poorly executed and the CEO had little interaction with anyone other than his phone during this time... no leadership from the front. Bullish management style that stopped you looking forward to going into the office. Luckily some WFH all the time, due to reporting lines elsewhere in the world and avoided it. Again, there was never any leadership from the front.

Pros

Despite sheltering in place, work still feels like work (minus the long commutes) and truly forces us to practice what we preach as the product is utilized internally to insure a successful "work from anywhere" situation. Leadership has been really transparent with open townhalls and all hands sessions, and HR has been effective in transitioning our perks to accommodate our lockdown with virtual yoga, mental health workshops, and seminars to improve our professional goals.

Cons

Compared to the other offices, the HQ in Mountain View isn't as flashy, and really creates an underwhelming environment. Working from home is more enjoyable because, unlike the office, its not as dark, can be pet-friendly, and has better commuter benefits.

Pros

Egnyte is a great place for someone looking to drive their own destiny with strong personal initiative. In the three plus years I've been here, I've really enjoyed working with the talented people that been great to work with. I've seen the company grow a great deal in the past few years. There have been a major culture changes with the new HR team which has been great in making it more interactive and fun with employees. With the latest challenges of COVID, the company has stepped up to connect the team as a whole and is good to see the executives adopting the idea of a distributed workforce and productivity while WFH and into the future.

Cons

Build a stronger sales and marketing pipeline to support growth and brand awareness. It's hard to sell a great product no one knows about.
