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.

A solid company, but not for the faint of heart

Pros

I’ve been with Egnyte for over 3 years, and overall, my experience has been very positive. We’ve got a great group of people here. It’s a results oriented environment and I’ve been given a lot of freedom to do my job, my way. We’ve got a great product and I believe the company is poised to be very successful.

Cons

I don’t think this is necessarily a bad thing, as few things worth doing are easy, but it’s a challenging environment. Expectations are high, the pace is fast and resources can be limited. People who are willing to put in the extra effort, who are concerned more with results than politics and who are prepared to make personal sacrifices for the good of the company will be successful here. People who put in minimal effort and think they can cruise into an IPO won’t last. Glassdoor is littered with the complaints of people who thought that.

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
