Pluspunten

There are great people in every area of the company, from engineering to sales to operations. Friendly helpful people that are highly skilled. There is a great sense of focus and determination to be the best in the business. The sales culture is especially good - no jerks here, very little of the typical political battles and personality conflicts.

Minpunten

Storage is a tough market. The competition is incredibly fierce. You get the sense that the competition is outspending Nimble dramatically on marketing. It becomes harder and harder to stand out from a technical perspective. Heck, we were told to shy away from getting into the technical details (weeds) because every vendor now sounds the same on paper. InfoSight is a key differentiator but it does NOT resonate with every customer. The total compensation package was severely diminished when the stock fell in Q3 of 2015. There was no real mechanism in place to fix that for existing employees... although employees that joined after the stock fell might have had it better.

Pluspunten

Excellent benefits package and generous equity package. Fair and charitable PTO policy, focused on wellness and family. The culture of camaraderie and charity is strong, as well as an outstanding work ethic across all the teams. I'm constantly impressed by the level of customer focus among our customer support, engineering, training, executives and operations team. Definitely a blue collar work ethic, where no one is above "emptying their trashcan". As a systems engineer, I enjoy selling the product because it's easy to use, performs better than the competition, and delivers scale reliably. The development / engineering staff is focused on delivering quality software, not just kicking out features that barely work. I have spent time with Varun, Umesh and Suresh in front of customers. All three of them are excellent speakers, and incredibly focused on building the next great storage company. I enjoy working for them.

Minpunten

We're not a huge company (that's a pro for me, may be a con for you) with a large development / integration staff. Our customers and prospects are asking for features or application integration that we haven't delivered yet, and won't deliver for 6 months to a year, or longer. This is a challenge for the sales teams.
