Pros

Anyone who has worked in IT, especially a Lab environment, knows that it can be stressful and often thankless. Not here. I have been here over 2 years and loving every minute. I can't say enough good things. It is fast paced and a lot of work but I haven't had this much fun in my 11 year career. The pay is exceptional, the work-life balance is stellar and there are smart people everywhere willing to help you learn and grow. They are constantly feeding you or taking you places to celebrate new milestones, we are adding new customer accounts at a break-neck pace, the Senior Management is easily accessible, and the product practically sells itself. It's a very exciting time to be here. They are going to have to push me out the door before I look anywhere else for employment. GREAT PLACE TO WORK.

Cons

The only downside I can think of is sometimes we are moving so quick that some of the nuanced details get lost in the shuffle. It eventually gets ironed out, but early assumptions in a project often lead to last minute fire drills on that project.

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.
