Pros

There are some very bright people here. They are all probably looking to leave in 2015. :-( This was a pretty fun place to be for a few years.

Cons

Management is terrible and all about who you are buddies with. Terrible decisions. They keep bringing in their NetApp friends who are often not very good. Senior execs keep dumping stock. We are no way close to being profitable and nobody seems to care. Ever since the IPO I've notices most people do not work very hard. I think I am starting to see the senior people here panic. Our big Sales boss left, and I think this is the beginning of he end of Nimble. I am personally leaving for a startup with a few colleges this month.

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.
