Unitrends reviews

If you scroll through the reviews that aren't canned responses from current employees you'll get the picture. Management, starting from the very top as been abysmal. If you are going to have folks write reviews at least make them realistic. For someone to come on here and give this company 4 stars is a slap in the face to my intellect. FUNNY how the first reviews that pop up at the top of the page and are considered "popular" are all the positive ones. Yet they have 1-3 helpful marks. I've also seen some of the most accurate reviews removed. This company takes no accountability. As stated in other reviews, they made several department shake ups, put most of the sales force in a no win situation, then fired them. Yet the people that made those decisions at the top, are still there. It all starts with Insight, the investment company that bought Unitrends. They don't care about you as a person, they'll throw you overboard in the middle of the ocean and pop a hole in your life raft. There are a few talented and intelligent managers but they're like diamonds in the rough. I left a solid company where I was making over 100K to join Unitrends. However, the company that I was sold on was not the company I worked for.

The technology is good, not amazing. There are some very basic and critical feature sets that most backup companies have that Unitrends does not. The negative reviews on here are not just because people can't adjust to change or the recent layoffs. The company has undergone a ton of change in only a few years, which every employee has become used to. The problem is the recent changes haven't been well thought out and it was apparent to most people that the decisions were poor. Most notably, firing or pushing out the most senior and successful managers and directors, and replacing them with directors who did nothing more than take forecasts and couldn't help reps close deals or answer basic questions on the product. The company was more collaborative and successful when upper management could help strategize and assist their reps in hitting their goals. Only sales advice from upper management now is to make more calls, even when each rep is above 3 hours and 60 dials daily. Laughable that HR responds to these asking people to share their feedback in person. The company made it clear they wanted to get rid of all bad apples and any dissension could mean your time is up there. Culture isn't what it used to be. There was a constant feeling in the air that something was going to happen, a layoff, a new acquisition.... Despite preaching about transparency, they are less transparent than they ever had been. The office is a complete rumor mill as well.
