Imperva Reviews

Cons

Moving at such a pace, less focus on forward strategy

Cons

No marketing.
Focus is all about the revenue numbers and nothing else.
Feast and famine approach to allocation of resources. Field teams are world class struggling for resources and get limited support from central functions that seem to be ballooning in size.

Cons

smaller company so HR is based in USA which means it takes longer to get things done and looked at.

Cons

Technology sales is not the easiest, especially when there is a shortage in technical resources.

Cons

Biggest challenge is fighting for budget priority versus other security products.

Cons

The Salary is very low.

Cons

If you are looking for instability, stress, 10 decisions per day, Imperva is the best one ever for this.
Since I joined, we had 1 new manager every 6 months with new vision and strategy.
The CEO is taking into his consideration only the US, the rest of the world does not exist for him.
Lack of visibility, you don't know from where you start and where you are hiding.
Big lack of presence in the market, the company refuses to invest in Marketing and Channel, and when they do, they require immediate ROI.
All employees knew the company should be sold to be managed as nobody was able to manage it and it ended up as we expected.
With Thoma Bravo acquisition, employees are leaving Imperva boat full of holes every day!
I congratulate all colleagues who made the decision and left earlier, they made the best decision and left in the right moment, no regret guys and well done!!

Cons

Still a bit of incertainty till Thoma Bravo acquisition will be completed.

Cons

Constant changes in the company, not stable

Cons

Where do you start?

The company is being run by the boys club, who only care for themselves. Cutting down people and getting promoted for the vanity of your own ego is the rule of the day. Promoting or hiring those who know how to fluff your feathers in the right way and feed those hungry egos.

Reorganise the business, spent countless millions on Consultants, jam it down everyone’s throats, then turn around 6 months later and basically move things back to the way they were. Great stuff.

 “Radically transparent” business only to have the greatest tin ear, never listen to staff, field managers, customers or partners. More concerned about a high NPS.

Staff are openly admonished in forums for not giving the right answer or questioning decisions. So, no one says anything.

Asking middle managers and staff to buy into change and new programs, burning endless hours trying to contribute. Then all of that thrown out as decisions have already been made.

Management team cringing at the sight of having to speak and interact with the minions is the best. Even customer engagements by management aren’t part of the brief now. Off-sites and extravagant meetings in faraway places are the call of the day for the management team to pat each other on the back.

Politics at all levels reigns supreme, people who are not in touch with the regime are white anted and cut down.

Great people have left the business and attrition is now accepted as “if they don’t like it, who cares”
