Management & Culture is Declining

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Location, Industry is growing, Hardworking colleagues, Many good leaders

Cons

Egnyte recently appointed a new CFO. Unfortunately, this person does not uphold Engyte's culture of respect and work-life balance. The CFO is extremely patronizing in meetings and emails, rude to the subordinates and disrespectful to peers. One never gets a chance to get a point across in meetings because the CFO is always talking in a tone of superiority. In truth, the CFO is often wrong, and frankly under-qualified for this position. To compensate for the lack of knowledge for this role we are made to work 80+ hours per week, working weekends, constantly trying to keep up with arbitrary demands and deadlines. This CFO seems to over-commit and then drive the employees to the ground to try to keep to the unrealistic commitments.

Sales…think twice

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

-free lunch when office is open

Cons

Here are just a few to consider if you are thinking about joining the sales team - look at all the positive reviews…none of them are sales -HR begs employees to leave positive reviews to “balance” the negative ones - if you are a top performer, don’t bother. The last thing on their priority list is keeping top talent..that’s why they all left. - make sure to ask how many reps are hitting OTE (in the last 2 years) in the interview process…that should be a major red flag for you - diversity is non existent - the pay is the worst in the industry. You can make more as a manager at a fast food place than you will here - when in doubt, run for the hills

Weak leadership team

Pros

Great product Team members, majority are amazing folks

Cons

Leadership team are embarrassingly weak, they should be ashamed of themselves All afraid to make tough decision and or say what they really think. Company is run on fear Pass the book mentality If I ignore the problem long enough it should go away Wait until we hire XYZ they’ll deal with issues ABC CEO has a thought, everyone jumps, PQLs, it’s all of a sudden about PQLs, he didn’t know what they were a week ago. CMO hires a consultant to know what to do, has to approve everything, bottleneck, overpowering and creativity stifling environment.
