Hard product, Mismanagement and Uncertain Future

Pros

Product is unique but also too specific Good health benefits, culture is OK but very clique (high school groupies) based Some people are really nice to work with Twice a week lunch Yoga/palliates in the evening Overall, meh. Just another day at the office, nothing exciting

Cons

Product/Solution works only with VM Ware Downsized like crazy due to bad management, company almost went bust Morality is low - times uncertain even though "promises" were made to uplift the company's restructure Goals are unattainable once you start moving up in certain departments - you can see them looking for other companies to work for Lots of contradiction in teamwork. Your teammates will take credit for your hard earned work or throw you under the bus Management lacks leadership and the willingness to accept feedback from others. Would prefer "my way or the highway mentality" Some people you really hate working with due to their attitude (they think they are above you) but that applies with most companies Most employees don't give a damn if the company grew or sank, they are there for the pay which is not that good - bonuses or not

Pros

Salary and benefits are on par with bay area startups Nice office and kitchen - company provided meals/snacks Market is there - flash/storage etc. is hot

Cons

Culture has gone from weak (you wont enjoy working if under 30 years old) to toxic. Business execution can best be described as schizophrenic - altho somewhat normal for startup. Employees are told they are replaceable. Customers and partners are not cared for (sell first ask questions later - no emphasis on Net Promoter Score). Vacuum of leadership on the sales side has resulted in fiefdoms. Unnecessary middle management.

Avoid this company

Pros

None. There is literally nothing positive about working at PernixData.

Cons

Terrible company. Management is very inexperienced. Management "suggests" that employees should add positive reviews to Glassdoor, and they also ask employees to write positive feedback in various "Great Place to Work" surveys. PernixData is NOT a great place to work. It is a demoralizing place to work. There were about 180 employees prior to August 3, 2015. Prior to that for nearly two years, all the internal hype caused PernixData employees to write those positive reviews. Poor performance of sales revenues the last four of eight quarters GA have reduced the internal hype among individual contributors significantly. Don't be fooled and don't trust the positive reviews you read on Glassdoor or any other site/survey. PernixData is hype.
