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.

Pros

Great benefits and great people to work with. The product itself is a great and superior product.

Cons

No training. No pipeline. No real support for SMB. You are basically a glorified SDR. Any real leads come from events or if you have good install base accounts. Hardly any good inbounds come and and if you do get a good and decent size inbound, they take it away from you to give to a mid-market rep. The juice isn't worth the squeeze. If you don't mind constantly grinding, go for it. Otherwise, I would recommend looking else where.
