Pros: Nutanix offers competitive salary and RSU packages, attractive benefits, and a pleasant office environment.

Cons: There was a lack of integrity found in attempts to renegotiate my contract through verbal agreements, outside of written terms. The company did not provide opportunities for improvement or communicate areas for growth at all. Additionally, there is a perceived lack of alignment with the "heart" and "honesty" principles promoted by the company.
