Pros

Interview process was easy enough

Cons

After 5 months, they told me to take a 33% pay reduction or immediately go on plan. I was ranked 2nd on the team in bookings and evaluations! My father had died 2 weeks previous, so I had to suck it up a while. That's Varonis. Biggest mistake of my career, and was "lucky" to last a year. In that short time: I witnessed my Director getting forced out, multiple sales engineers leaving in frustration, the Engineering Director getting canned, and 5 other reps on a team of 6 getting put on plan after 5-10 months in the role. Every QBR had a new set of people.

Pros

Average benefits with a good product and good technical people. If you worked in an office it sounds great!

Cons

Those of use who work from home get zero benefits. Not only don't we get the stocked kitchen, coffee, social hours etc, the company won't even pay for the things we NEED to do our jobs, like keyboard, mouse and monitor. YOU are expected to pay for that out of pocket. Companies insists those outside executive management share rooms when traveling. In the #METOO era I can't believe this is even an thing. ZERO respect for employee privacy.

Pros

Good products and technology. Good sales potential with lots of opportunities around compliance, auditing and security initiatives. For now.

Cons

Microscopic Management Philosophy. You will be tied to a leash at all times...like a dog. Don't expect any coaching or management assistance. New Hire training does not exist...you are on your own! High pressure, sweat shop approach to training. You WILL be fully training in a few short weeks or else. Metrics, metrics, metrics - beyond just measurement, to the point of being anal. No confidence or faith in employees - constant surveillance. Management will monitor you throughout the day, and if you aren't online watch out. From an expenses standpoint they are particularly cheap. You will have to justify everything multiple times, then don't be surprised if they refuse to pay it. Mileage requires ridiculous detail. Address, map, etc. No car allowance, so this process will eat up your time. Compensation was good, but benefits are horrible overall. No stock grant at hire. Medical and Dental benefits are below industry average. There is a 401K however. Be aware there is constant pressure to write quizzes and exams. Not necessarily a bad thing, as education is important, but they send all the results to managers all over the company! Don't fail! Based on my research since leaving, Varonis has a very high turnover rate. In terms of employee retention, I don't know why people would stay...unless you really need a job. I have heard of people leaving after a few days. I lasted a few months, but it was not a fun place to be. Ultimately, it just wasn't worth the grind. I guess if you REALLY need a job, you will suck it up. Frankly, no amount of money is worth that grind. I would rather work at 7-Eleven or Kroger!
