Nutanix

I enjoyed most of my time at this company, when I wasn't dealing with managers, recruiters, or execs. When I joined, the culture was fantastic. People actually cared about one another. I enjoyed my work on a day to day basis. Interacting with customers is fantastic, and I was great at my job. Within the past few years things have taken a major hit overall. Execs are out of touch and don't care to change that. Sales engineers get screwed at every turn. A customer could get moved to another team, and if you haven't already closed a deal with them, you get zip - no quota attainment and no compensation. Layoffs are continuing. You can't offer honest feedback based on facts and data without getting a talking to. There used to be a #rants channel in Slack that was great for providing feedback, but I guess execs got their feelings hurt so that went away. Recommending others to get hired is a joke, typically resulting in an automated response. Recruiters play games with compensation, often offering a humongous range for comp, when in reality they had no intention of hiring at a higher number - total bait and switch. Beware.

To be clear, I mean that the company has gone downhill in its treatment of its employees, NOT in terms of its profits--those have only gone higher and higher. I know what this company used to be like a few years ago, and it's noting like that anymore. Now all they care about is pleasing Wall Street--which means lower pay, worsening benefits, and eroding culture--now it's just another vanilla corporate America company.
Speaking of bad culture, they've been bringing in a lot of senior management from Dell lately--and if you know, you know. And even though the inside sales team hasn't brought in anyone from Dell yet, I know of some messed up things that have happened to people on the inside team lately who have been let go the same way they like to do it over there. Again, it's just another corporate America tech company now.

- A typical day was spent mostly on the phone and emailing prospective clients who were looking to upgrade their SANs
- I learned a lot at Nutanix; primarily how to multitask, coordinate smoothly with different teams and setting meetings via cold calling for them to do demonstrations, among other things
- My co-workers were extremely dedicated and hard working; they all were engaging and professional
- The hardest part of the job was the rejection I received from prospective clients but that helped me develop thicker skin, improve my approach to intriguing them into a meeting, and making sure I knew the answers to any questions they may pose on the front end
- The most enjoyable part of the job was the culture, team environment and the various resources readily available providing training and learning

Things I like:
-I get to work with smart, supportive people across the world
-Growing company with advancement opportunities if you're driven and proactive
-Lots of autonomy and ownership (at least in my role)
-The best medical, dental and vision coverage I've ever had (100% covered by Nutanix)

Other things to know:
-The company has grown REALLY fast. Because of that there are some growing pains and lack of process in certain areas (this can be a pro and a con).
-Exciting problems and challenges we're working to solve
-Because it's a large company, some things can take time to get done (that said, Nutanix is pretty agile for a big, publicly held company).
-There's a general excitement amongst Nutants for what we're trying to accomplish

Between a poor channel and marketing strategy to sales teams set up to fail, Nutanix will never be a dominating force in the marketplace. Channel partners brush off the sales teams unless they are brought deals. Managers and VPs regularly make their sales targets, but individuals rarely do. They tell you there's no cap on commissions, then they cap you when you finally get that large sale.  I've seen many a rep point out the faulty system, then they are fired for a lack of performance within weeks.

Do not work for the Real Estate and Workplace Team in San Jose. There is a high turnaround rate for receptionist (5 receptionist within a span of 5 months) if you work under this umbrella. From the Vice President, down to the Managers, the management is horrible. They are absent minded, and barely know what's going on with their staff members. Don't let them promise you anything, for they are all empty promises. Apply with caution. 

Nutanix is an amazing company with great technology. If you apply there you need to make sure you are a pro at internal networking and never, ever give them a reason to ask who you are or what you do. Promote yourself and your successes because nobody else will. I would not hesitate to recommend them as a place to work or a product to buy, but you need to make sure you can manage all aspect of your career.

Very open culture with caring executive team with focus on customer satisfaction, great product, and great work atmosphere...It was great to work with individuals, teams, and management team focused on delivering a great product among fierce competition from very large institutional players.
