Pros

Good people and HR, flexible working, workload ok.

Cons

RealVNC like to think of themselves as innovators, but they launched one good product 20 years ago and haven't really innovated since. The company has always been very engineering focused while lacking commercial acumen, so they have fallen behind competitors and makes it hard to sell the product. Engineering and operation teams are valued a lot more than teams like HR, Marketing and Sales and it's always been this way. Despite a few changes at the top over the last years and lots of hiring the company still doesn't have a clear strategy. Pay for commercial teams like Sales is below average. Senior mgmt is mediocre and not in touch with the rest of the company at all.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are pleased to hear that you think we have good people – we are proud of the team too! It’s great to hear that you have found the flexible working environment and workload to be positive. We hope that the introduction of our CRO and CPTO demonstrate our commitment to enhancing our commercial focus. We have also provided recent training for our GTM functions and welcome feedback from all areas of the business on how we can enhance our product offering. Please do speak to our Product team to share any new ideas for features / use-cases etc. We are proud of our 20-year heritage and are always looking to develop and launch additional features and add new complementary technology (e.g. RPort). We are confident that the market for our software is vast and we look forward to adding valuable new customers to our growing customer base. As a scaling business, it can sometimes mean that the direction pivots which can lead to the Company direction seeming unclear. We have a clear strategy in place for the next 3 years and beyond and are sharing this information to aid understanding. We undertake salary benchmarking annually and the comparative data we’ve collected supports that we pay employees fairly. We also continue to review our benefits and consistently find we have a competitive package. Thanks for your feedback on the leadership team and we will internally review.

Pros

Small business vibes, good people to work with.

Cons

Lifestyle business trying to compete in the Enterprise space. Complicated, difficult to use and deploy Remote Support product in a very crowded market. No real understand of the market they are in, and very behind in terms of technological advancement.
