Was once a great startup

Pros

Hired very bright talent in Engineering and the right upper management to build the right product to get to $100 million in revenue. Beyond that, there has been lack of foresight on getting to the $500 million mark. This is very common with so many startups that get to become a mid-sized company and stagnate or start treading the wrong path.

Cons

Many of the early engineers have been leaving the company and sales has also seen significant churn and it appears little is being done to retain talent. Upper management is simply busy trying to "grow" their own organizations creating needless middle management hierarchies and knows very little about the reality on the ground. Pace of execution has slowed down due to excessive processes adding to the frustration of people with the mindset of "getting things done".

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

They once had mojo and momentum and clear differentiation from their competitors.

Cons

company has lost it momentum and mojo. Trying hard to differentiate itself from other all flash players, including a specific very aggressive one that is growing revenue at a 4x faster rate than Nimble. Has been a consistent exodus in the last 2 years of experienced and skilled employees in these sales/SEs ranks, marketing/Product marketing ranks. The no jerks policy seems to actually result in the opposite of its stated purpose.
