Pros

My time at Egnyte proved to be invaluable as a sales professional. With such an applicable product that is marketable to all types of businesses, it is a massive opportunity to compete, learn and grow as an individual in a startup environment. If you are hungry and want to build real skills, imagine a product with actual technological differentiation paired with proven household-name customers but in a market competing with the likes of Google, Microsoft, Citrix, Box and Dropbox and then imagine succeeding. It takes a village but the long-time individuals in sales, support, product, management are all there to support with a common goal. This is no longer a transactional sale but a multi-level, CIO decision to be deployed across an enterprise. I highly recommend this company to those up for the challenge/opportunity and you will thank yourself later.

Cons

There is a 5-word minimum.

Pros

Best product in File Sharing space and now we have a new product area related to content governance. Engineering and Products is perhaps the best in our industry. Culturally, I really appreciate the level of openness, willingness to make you successful and hard work ethic. All the way from our CEO , our CMO, people in Support and others will do anything for the success of the company. In my opinion, this is a company where you can define and chart your careet without any big company constraints and hierarchy. Love this place!

Cons

We can move as fast as the weakest link in the chain and it used to be a top heavy marketing organization but that is now changing and getting more nimbler. Our HR needs to have more maturity and depth for a company of our size.

Pros

Amazing place to work staffed with a group of people that is as diverse as you can get. I have never worked with a smarter group of people who are mostly all pulling in the same direction. The product is the best on the market and the great news is the market is finally taking notice of this. Management is uniquely well acquainted with the product, which is something you only get with a company whose original founders are still running things The office is a great place with all the typical Silicon Valley perks - open environment, amazing kitchen and a very social atmosphere happening within and between all the departments in the organization. Management is approachable and genuinely concerned with what is happening both front and center as well as in the background. In fact, I think sometimes they take too much to heart and quite often do not act as soon as they should with certain "problem children" in an effort to give them one more chance at success.

Cons

Just like anyplace else, there are great days and some not so great days. As an "up and coming" company, all the facets of the jewel are not as polished as they would be in a more established organization, but this should be considered part of the charm as it is one of the warts. Late stage start-up on the edge of profitability, you have to take the good with the bad but I do feel the former greatly outweighs the latter. A lot of other reviews complain about the turnover in some of the management roles, but I don't see it as being any higher than any other company in a similar stage in its development, which can only be described as a "work in progress".
