Pros

All the pros can be found in Con's section.

Cons

1.) No official company's laptop was given to perform work-based functions - You can only use your personal laptops for official work stuff. This is a backup organization that also provides security for their customers. How is it secure to use personal laptops to access customer's backups and sensitive data? What an absolute breach of Customer confidentiality and security and I feel so sorry for all their respective customers! 2.) Yelling and swearing at colleagues are totally acceptable. - It's ironically ridiculous where I've seen a company where up to the Senior Leadership level, they would swear in official meetings and throw huge tantrums and openly embarrass their colleagues at Townhall meetings. Even, most of the Senior management thinks they are not dispensable and directly shoots ill-tempered remarks at their fellow workers. CV is not a family entitlement, it’s a workplace and could have been treated like one. 3.) Management has an extremely political "Big Boys Club" - If you don't belong to this club, please never speak up, or because if you do, then you will be put on a performance review regardless of how super-technical and hardworking you are. 4.) No appraisals for excellent engineers - The workplace politics is super-strong to the point that the best engineers are often neglected of credibility simply because they are not part of the BIG BOYS CLUB. Regular engineers are regarded as the best for doing nothing extra-ordinary but simply because they are active members of the Big Boys Club! 5.) Very bad workplace culture - You work like a DONKEY and yet Senior Management team makes you feel you are totally replaceable by threatening you could lose your job. So many engineers have literally had to cry bitterly based on this fact or just resign. Absolutely ridiculous! 6.) Non-attractive compensation package - Not even the minimum 2% salary increment was received in the Year 2019, but apparently, some other members of the Big Boys Club received Salary increments plus bonuses, while management blatantly lied no one received salary increments and bonuses! 7.) Non-flexible working environment - No one is allowed to work from home only if you are a member of the Big Boys Club. However, when Covid hit, Management's hands got twisted and everyone had to work from home on their personal laptop and there was no provision of laptops from the company. The company lacks the benefits of a Fortune 500 company. 8.) Highly unhealthy work environment as you "Work like a donkey" - Senior Management wants the region team to be the best out of all the regions at the detrimental cost of their engineer's health which means the bar is set unrealistic super-high and there has been beast performance from the engineers which includes spending a ridiculous amount of extra-hours (unpaid) working each day. Obviously, the only way to beat other regions and make Management look good. However, with zero acknowledgment and compensation to the engineers from the same Management team. Sounds more like modern-day slavery! 9.) Lack of Transparency - Offshoring engineer's jobs to India and Management is not open to workers about this. This absolutely killed the workplace ambiance. Zero trusts in management. 10.) Zero growth opportunities - The only way to get more opportunities is to resign and get better opportunities elsewhere. 11.) Micro-management at its best- this organization is where you get penalized to take a few minutes to break in order to go buy a cup of coffee to increase your work concentration and productivity. Zero Australian workplace culture. 12.) Diversity ratio is nothing to write home about.

Pros

Good colleagues to work with on the floor. Pay is decent for the industry. Good backup technology which is industry leading.

Cons

Culture has died off recently. Most people are concerned about offshoring and managent is too blind to notice. Poor work life balance, work through your lunch and overtime without pay. You will be made to feel bad if you work from home. Its all about you know to be recognised.

Commvault Response
7y
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I encourage you to please come and have a chat with me directly, or have a chat with your manager if you are having any challenges with work/life integration. Our business in India has increased significantly, which is a great thing, with many new customers and GSIs being onboarded and joining our Commvault community. The India business hours straddle between our APAC and EMEA centers, based in Sydney and Reading, which results in a sub-optimal experience for our Indian based customers. In addition, the mismatched time zone alignment adds additional load for our support teams in both APAC & EMEA. Therefore, with the growth of the India market and our ongoing investment in our partners and GSIs, we have decided to invest in a local support presence in Bangalore, India. This new center will be tasked with servicing local India region volume, and not our broader global customer base. We currently have similar centers in both China (Beijing & Shanghai), and Japan (Tokyo), and see this as the optimal approach to providing a localized support experience within a global support model. This will also ease regional India based loading in our APAC and EMEA centers. Further, we are continuing to invest in our existing centers, and currently, have open engineer roles for our Sydney center which we are actively recruiting for. This is an exciting time for everyone at Commvault, with new opportunities and projects to get involved with. – Mark Schmidt (Regional VP, Customer Support, APAC)

Pros

Commvault has a great product, Sales and Pre-Sales teams are heading in the right direction with experienced enterprise leadership at the helm.

Cons

The APAC PS team is a circus with no leadership and even less direction for the enterprise space. Great technical resources but cowboys at the best of times. Mindset and actions are still very much small business. In APAC, the power broker is a long-term employee promoted based on tenure, the business has outgrown current level of competency, capability and business professionalism - toxic cronyism at its best ..... As advised by many others, the company in APAC have to move on the poison within to prosper.
