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.

Pros

Egnyte is a company that values the right hard work and "play to win" attitude. I have never been in a company that works so hard to give all the support, tools, and guidance to each and every employee to insure success. It is very refreshing to have this level of care and attention from an employer. I think if anyone is looking for place that isnt just a job, this is a great place to consider. Egnyte is a place where you can grow your career. I found all management to be very reasonable and willing to help any time I asked. The culture is a developing one. I think that this is a place where if you come to contribute to culture, you will love it. If you are just looking to consume culture, go somewhere else. The opportunity for the product and space is HUGE! Its up to the execution to capitalize on this but I think Egnyte is heading on the right track and will do amazing in the coming years.

Cons

They will treat you like an adult. Meaning, you need to be accountable for your role. If you are looking for a place where you can hide under a rock and not produce or perform, this isnt your place. They reward hard work and give you all the help you need to succeed. For some, even that isnt enough.

Pros

At the time I was there, the corporate culture was really fun, fast moving, dynamic. This was an environment where hardwork and tenacity yielded real results for your pay this month, and your career longer term

Cons

Run by engineers and bean counters. Sales not growing fast enough ? Fire all the sales people, and start over, while limping along with some home-baked CRM system which the CEO's best friend looked after/regarded as his pension fund. Perfect illustration of why engineers and accountants need aggressive sales people to move from an also ran to a winning company (see Dropbox, Box)
