Pros

I have been in Egnyte for 3+ years as senior engineer. It was a bit challenging coming from big company to adapt to the start-up culture. But Egnyte has a great work culture that allows a good work life balance. I have flexibility to WFH when I need it the most. Plus, Egnyte has an open door culture, leaders have great vision and execution plan, opportunities are plenty to avail. I am fortunate to be part of a wonderful group of great technical minds who know what they are building and know how to make Egnyte a fun place to work.

Cons

Don’t have lucrative perks that most of the bigger Bay Area start ups have. For example: 401K matching, and health/life insurance could be better.

Pros

One of the biggest positives for me was the great people and company culture. Unlike bigger companies, it's easy to get to know coworkers from different departments. They do a great job in hosting events and welcoming all people of different backgrounds. It was awesome to work on a diverse amount of projects and ship it to end users. If you're experienced, like a challenge, and want to make an impact, Egnyte is a great opportunity for that.

Cons

The company is growing rapidly and they should invest in hiring in other departments.

Pros

For me as a developer, one of the most interesting aspects of working for Egnyte has been the range of projects I have had the freedom to work on. Even as a relatively new hire I had ability to pick up and become the owner of various pieces. It is often fairly quick to see tasks I have worked on materialize into improved system performance / resolved customer issues. In terms of culture I would characterize the environment as pretty relaxed. My coworkers are helpful and I have learned a lot of things from some of the more senior people that I work closely with. HR plans a few fun events every months and some interest based groups have organically developed. Admin has stuck to their guns about maintaining a cash flow positive business while chasing higher growth and have been broadly successful in hitting their goals over the past few years I have worked here.

Cons

As the company grows in customers and employees, some of our processes need to become more streamlined. For example, we need to have a smoother hiring/onboarding pipeline in order to meet our headcount growth goals. We are also trying to quicken our product release cycle and have faced some obstacles there.
