Pros
On the outside, the marketing machine makes Pernixdata larger than it is. Initially, there were a good group of smart people overcoming market and product challenges. Seemed to be a compelling value to customers at first.
Cons
Customers, partners and employees all seem to take a back seat to egos of the founders and product management. A large disconnect exists between what the customer and partners get from the product and relationship. Several people have been promoted to the inner circle not for their merits but for their loyalities - this has created a rift and cultural issues. The products bugs and issues made it a challenge in the field with POCs stalling or failing. All in all, it was a frustrating group to be a part of. ALSO - asking us to give high marks on review sites to cancel out those that left, vote for the company in industry awards categories even when it was against the terms of voting, etc was grossly dishonest
