Pros

Started off as an SDR here. Morale was great in the beginning. They were handing out weekly spiffs such as cash, half day Plenty of snacks and food in the kitchen (FREE lunch Tuesday)! Useful tools to help grow.

Cons

I ended up leaving because poor management. You can only grow if the manager likes you and you make numbers so she can "pay for her wedding." You hear the manager saying that to the SDRs all the time. Lot of people feel undervalued here because we are told, we are replaceable if we don't hit numbers. I'd stay away if you are trying to start off in sales.

Pros

There are great people in every area of the company, from engineering to sales to operations. Friendly helpful people that are highly skilled. There is a great sense of focus and determination to be the best in the business. The sales culture is especially good - no jerks here, very little of the typical political battles and personality conflicts.

Cons

Storage is a tough market. The competition is incredibly fierce. You get the sense that the competition is outspending Nimble dramatically on marketing. It becomes harder and harder to stand out from a technical perspective. Heck, we were told to shy away from getting into the technical details (weeds) because every vendor now sounds the same on paper. InfoSight is a key differentiator but it does NOT resonate with every customer. The total compensation package was severely diminished when the stock fell in Q3 of 2015. There was no real mechanism in place to fix that for existing employees... although employees that joined after the stock fell might have had it better.
