Great Product, Shaky Direction, and Retention of Sub-Par Personnel

Pros

Egnyte has a great product that definitely stands head and shoulders when it comes to their competitors. The Support Team is outstanding, The Marketing Team works hard and the Engineering Team is high-quality. The SMB Sales Team grinds and keeps the lights on for the company.

Cons

The management team tries to force-feed the product to the "Enterprise" Space and the Enterprise Sales Teams cannot execute (but, are retained....). The leadership team is big on retaining personnel because their select people are likeable vs. actually doing a good job. Training is non-existent and while there are a few stand-outs when it comes to the company, there are also pockets of people that coast through their workdays. But it's ok, because they are having fun and laugh at the management team's jokes.

Pros

I was part of the recent layoff. Company has a lot of issues in the sales organization that was mentioned in the other reviews. I want to say it was a great run when I started, but it went south real quick in the past 6 months since it rapidly grew so quickly and hired too many people without the proper training, infrastructure and accountability. But the one I will miss is the great work culture, my coworkers and our team events. On the positive side, we got 8 weeks of severance and 3 months of health insurance, which is better than some of my friends at other companies that only got - 2 weeks.

Cons

Still it doesn’t negate the fact of what has been said in the previous comments from this layoff. It’s ALL TRUE. The company had many issues on the sales side that caused more issues with a lack of marketing support and growing without the necessary resources to drive success. Its infuriating thinking about how this went down as we saw it coming. BS folks
