Pros

They have a slide.

Cons

Commvault's layoffs are completely repugnant. This measure was only a means to align the pockets of the extremely wealthy rather than to improve the overall infrastructure of the quality of staff. I have never seen an environment where there were more managers than engineers which seems to be the trend in the support department. You can easily remove 50 percent of management and supervisors and hire more engineers to give a better quality of life rather than micromanaging every single ticket and call. Engineers are already inundated with calls they don't need more micro managers.

Our support organization, which is among the mostly-highly regarded in the data protection industry space, is consistently above industry averages for customer satisfaction and in fairness, it’s important to note that Customer Support has a low manager to employee ratio. As you know Commvault announced a worldwide cost-reduction effort, with actions underway to reduce, consolidate and align resources across all functional areas. Our Vaulters are at the heart of our business and as such also by far the biggest recurring investment we make every year. A decision to reduce our workforce is a difficult one and a measure we have only had to take twice in our 22 years history, but it was a necessary step to deliver the financial results expected from our shareholders and that we expect from ourselves. For more detail, you can read the official announcement of our transformation efforts by copying and pasting this link https://bit.ly/2s6smgV We have strived to take these actions in line with our values of ‘doing the right thing’ and ‘treating others as they would like to be treated,’ and with a view to help those impacted both emotionally, financially and professionally to begin the next chapter of their career journey. I understand this is a difficult time, and truly wish you all the best in the future. – Jesper Helt – CHRO
