Pros
From the moment I joined Egnyte, transitioning from a Commercial Business Development role to Customer Success, I felt an immediate connection with colleagues across both the US and EMEA teams. The way I was welcomed and the onboarding I received was beyond anything I'd experienced, even at larger Tech companies. There's a sense that we are genuinely all in it together. It feels like a supportive and collaborative environment. The blue collar culture, combined with autonomy to approach tasks in my own way, is something that I appreciate. The cross-timezone and team collaboration is great, and it’s truly remarkable how engaged and caring senior leadership remains, even with a company of about 1400 people. They reciprocate energy and enthusiasm, making it a rare and positive experience. If you advocate for help with a customer, you will get it. Egnyte is naturally a very customer-centric organisation. Even after the majority PE investment, the company's core positive attributes have largely remained unchanged in my eyes. I'm genuinely excited about future opportunities and the impact I can continue to make here. Not getting the "Sunday scaries" is a significant win in my book.
Cons
While I generally feel very positive, Egnyte's strong commitment to "fiscal prudence," one of our core values, can sometimes lead to a very lean approach. This means we're definitely a "roll your sleeves up" kind of place, where every dollar counts, and resources are managed tightly. You still get good benefits, but there is less focus on the shiny typically Tech-related premium benefits you might come to expect.
