Pros

Some great people in PS and support.

Cons

CEO lives in bubble and hasn't noticed any modern competitors. Senior exec team are all friends and very weak. No one senior in eGain has ever worked for a similar competitor. Any one who has leaves after 2 years. If you are thinking of joining look at sales turnover on LinkedIn. This is not a sales focused company. Exec team creates atmosphere of them and us, creating conflict between all teams. Commisions are begrudged and every attempt not to pay made. Meanwhile modern sales organisations with professional marketing, generous comp plans, SDRs, Success Manager (not sales) grow 50% a year... Rightnow and Kana started roughly same time in same area. Both exited at high multiples. eGain has run out of steam and desperately needs new leadership

Pros

Supportive coworkers who were always willing to teach, answer questions, and help me succeed.

Cons

Management needs significant improvement. I didn't feel supported or properly trained, and there was an expectation to know how to do tasks without adequate guidance. Communication was often unclear, and feedback focused more on mistakes than coaching. I also felt isolated, and it seemed employee concerns were discussed with others instead of being addressed directly. A more supportive and communicative management team would greatly improve the workplace.
