Pros

If you are familiar with technology and the challenges businesses face with managing their infrastructure then you would love to work at SimpliVity. Their technology truly is transformational to traditional legacy environments. Savings and efficiencies are created in all key areas - application performance, 90% capacity savings, built in DR and HA, WAN acceleration and global management of virtualized environment. Our solution is a VMware Admins dream. The entire team from CEO down are highly motivated for success, energetic with a common mission. Great training. Great support. It is a fun environment for anyone who enjoys a fast pace start up environment. My role is as an Inside Sales Rep, based in Atlanta supporting the SE team.

Cons

I can not think of a con personally. This role and the opportunity is right up my alley.

Pros

Tremendous opportunity to build something meaningful and to stake-out your contributions to the company. Engineering senior leadership is fantastic. Benefits are average.

Cons

With the exception of engineering, senior executive leadership is awful. Product management is incapable of learning from their mistakes and Marketing is dillusional about brand awareness. Sales is weak and not agile enough to sell into use cases (most are former storage sales and can only speak intelligently about storage). The company hasn't been actively hiring in over a year amid layoffs. For such a phenomenal product, it's really disappointing to watch as the business fails to execute on what they need to maintain competitiveness. You will go years without raises, bonuses, or any career growth, even with substantial contributions to the business. Benefits are lacking. There is no longer a free lunch and vacation is 15 days. There is no maternity leave for pregnant mothers unless you want to go on disability (at a significantly reduced paycheck ) or take FMLA and not get paid at all. Very few women are in leadership positions and no women have been promoted to VP during my employment. Much of the goings-on across the various organizations are kept secret. Political issues among organizations are profound and most things are done bottom up instead of top down due to the lacking strength of the leadership in place. Most organizations are severely understaffed due to layoffs and budget constraints with no open reqs to replace the trimmed off employees. Simplivity has so much potential. It's sad to see this happening.
