Great overall place to work
Systems Reliability Engineer • Current Employee
San Jose, California, United States
April 13, 2023
Pros: Very competent and professional people from lots of areas of expertise.
It's very much a place where everyone you talk to has knowledge to contribute.
Fantastic benefits. Going to a new doctor is always fun, as the desk person never seems to believe when you tell them that you will owe $0 every time.
Has done a pretty good job of trying to maintain humanity during growth, which is very hard for most organizations as they get large.
Cons: The culture is becoming a bit more corporate, in that people tend to become numbers. However, you can see that the higher-ups are generally aware of that and are attempting to keep that in check where possible.

Great place to work
SRE Engineer • Current Employee
San Jose, California, United States
August 20, 2021
Pros: Nutanix has a great work culture, a lot to learn, and helpful teammates. They also offer the best benefits.
The support role is stressful, but you get help.
Cons: Low salary compared to the market.
Management has changed.
Many Senior SREs have left recently, leading to increased workload and stress on others.

Old-fashioned engineering with zero diversity. Not a great place for new engineers to start their career
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Jose, California, United States
November 26, 2019
Pros: - Above average base salary (for me, anyways).
- RSU quantity is not bad (although stock has been stagnant).
- Free food? (but then again, this is standard nowadays).
- Some cool stuff to work on (new 100% cloud products).
Cons: - Zero diversity (in engineering at least).
- Old-fashioned top-down approach (directors and VPs still heavily involved in technical decisions).
- Leadership is overly protective of things they had personally built in the past.
- Micromanagement from senior leadership on mundane day-to-day work.
- Mostly uninteresting product. 90% on-premise software using outdated technologies.
- Old-fashioned 6-month release cycle / waterfall model.
- 2000-member engineering org is bloated.
