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.

Pros

Interesting space, interesting products. hard-core collaborative working environment. Tough sales environment but a good place for engineers to get experience working on VMware private cloud products.

Cons

None in particular, as a contrator working remotely I had little sense of the day-to-day.

Pros

Amazing technology and support team. Benefits (especially healthcare) are great, and the fast paced StartUp environment is incredible. The sales teams are hard working and go the extra distance to ensure they make it happen, as long as they get the support they need from HQ.

Cons

Upper Management seems to be very HQ centric. They believe that their software is perfect, and it should sell itself. A 'trained monkey could sell FVP" was overheard once. There is no value placed on the sales organization, and unrealistic expectations and quotas are enforced from the top. Management doesn't value the field team (AEs or SEs) opinions and it shows. Your field teams have their pulse on the community, and know what needs to be done to achieve success. Unfortunately, it falls on deaf ears.
