Pros

Great onboarding and ongoing enablement, nice office in central London, strong career opportunity for junior staff, good expenses policy.

Cons

Many customers don't want to work with Varonis, the company either has a bad reputation (expensive, hard to implement) or is put into very niche categories. Getting the 3 or 5 new prospect meetings per week is very difficult - especially given their bad salesforce info (duplicated accounts, accounts assigned to different people, wrong info, no numbers). Marketing and sales have burnt many of the territories - customers feel spammed, have Varonis blocked. Partners can be good but most don't bring any business to the sales team. The company is WEIRD - many people in global leadership don't have enough business experience or knowledge to do their roles. Lots started as BDRs very recently. Making a sales quote is difficult - pricing is not standarised, seems to be a mystery for most people. Many existing customers don't have good results from the platform. Customer Success function is badly defined and doesn't seem to know what they are supposed to do (despite having some good people). Sales Engineering has some fantastic engineers but they need to be more flexible in how to work, and remember that they don't know everything. The sales engineeering director in the UK is unfriendly and unhelpful - will even meet customers without ever informing sales. Leadership lacks formality - meetings don't have objectives or agendas, seem to be a waste of time for most people. The product is very difficult to sell - most salespeople earn nothing in their first year and the biggest tip people have is "to stick with it because once you've been here for a long time you'll eventually start to sell".

Pros

Good base salary, good technology (although many strong & better competition)

Cons

Too many to mention. They just want robots, not humans. Only metrics focused. They want you to report daily with your activities by e-mail and when you are few mins late sending the email, you straight away get a notch from managers. HR once said "we know that, we are different and not for everyone"! Everyone is leaving the company, just look at the reviews before accepting a job. I couldn't even get my account list while I worked there but still carried the target to hit. Management had no response when I raised the concerns. They did literally nothing. Management is a joke. So unprofessional and not experienced. They don't know what they are doing. Micromanagement and toxic environment. No support at all. I was just so happy when I finally left Varonis after a short while. Terrible experience. If you like your career, really just stay away. I will remove this experience from both my CV and mind after a while. My manager brought his mate from another company and the lucky guy was given great accounts and already established opportunities to be closed. Never seen an unprofessional and toxic environment like that in my life. HR is a joke, they don't even listen to you.

Pros

- Working from home - Nice colleagues

Cons

Micro management like you have never experienced before. Management monitor you every minute of the day. It's like being in the army the way you get shouted at! Unprofessional kinder garden environment. We are not in school anymore. Commissions extremely poor and they keep cutting.
