Pros

I am not sure if there are many pros. People are friendly but you can find friendly people anywhere. The reason sellers move to companies is to make money and I am aware of market conditions but Egnyte makes it hard to sell Egnyte - changing product SKUs, no real discounting, managers are really just worried about covering their own interests instead of development but then again, maybe there is no development for them either.

Cons

1. There is no real feedback loop with management. I've given consistent feedback to my manager and I'm usually met with a very defensive response, or excuses, or they are just overall condescending. I think both middle and upper management (at least on the West) should be more available to their reps. Have an AMA session with sales leaders where people can submit anonymous questions, offer a real feedback loop, and instead of exclusively looking at reps who are not hitting, look at their managers. 2. Figure out pricing. Unacceptable that for certain customers who want pricing such as egnyte's secure enclave or regulated pricing we need to wait to discuss pricing internally once a week. Makes for a collaborative story sometimes but most times just makes us look like we've never done this before. 3. Theres more of a focus to CYA than there are to produce. There is no reason we should be in 4-6 hours of internal meetings a week. Having been in the software space for many years at various companies, Egnyte's sales leaders and sales processes have proven to be inefficient and ineffective. 4. ZERO development. From SDR through AE. I know there is a new enablement coach but that decision is about a year too late. They've walked into a dumpster fire. Instead of developing your current reps, you add in more internal meetings and outsource your new hires who also walk into a dumpster fire. Sinking ship.

Pros

The offering itself is wonderful. An extremely robust and solid product.

Cons

Nepotism runs rampant through this place. If you aren't a part of the proverbial "boys club" or in someone's back pocket, there is absolutely ZERO room for growth within. Middle management is trash. Despite numerous employees asking, begging for development to grow, you are met with "why nots" rather than "how can we get you there." - Focused far too much on whats not happening rather than focusing on a solution or opportunity for growth for the reps. They just hire new reps rather than develop the ones they have. Majority of reps ARE NOT hitting their quotas and again, how do they fix it? Hire more reps, NOT help or develop the reps they have.
