Pros

Good, solid product. Clearly development is a functional team. Support and Customer Success are focused and dedicated to satisfying customers.

Cons

The Sales team is dysfunctional. Most of the Sales and Marketing teams don't understand the product and they don't even use it for work. Sales leadership is focused on forcing the team to write positive reviews, like on Glassdoor, then trying to address the very obvious problem of an Enterprise sales group that can't sell. They need to control the company reviews because people are running for the door (about 8 VPs have left in 2 years) and they can't recruit good talent. It is too late to turn the ship around. The space is too crowded to make horrible mistakes and not learn from them. Save yourself the energy and pass on Egnyte.

Pros

Great benefits and great people to work with. The product itself is a great and superior product.

Cons

No training. No pipeline. No real support for SMB. You are basically a glorified SDR. Any real leads come from events or if you have good install base accounts. Hardly any good inbounds come and and if you do get a good and decent size inbound, they take it away from you to give to a mid-market rep. The juice isn't worth the squeeze. If you don't mind constantly grinding, go for it. Otherwise, I would recommend looking else where.
