Hi, I have been approached by exabeam. 1) how is exabeam as a company? 2) Their culture? 3) How are they doing in these lay offs time? 4) Do they do green card filing and how soon do they do? 5) Is there a annual raise? 6) how easy it is to take long vacations since it’s unlimited pto? Any inputs from current or ex employee would help. Thank you. Tc :130k Yoe 3 @exabeam
Ehhh the company is fine. Honestly they’ve probably got 12-18 months of funding. If the economy doesn’t improve we will look to be acquired or an emergency funding round.
In that case are we looking at layoffs as well?
Not for anyone in Product or Eng. Layoff would hit the non essential teams first.
I worked there for 2 years. It’s a cheap company. They got $200M in funding and instead of hiring good software engineers, they outsourced all development to India because it’s cheaper. They released a new cloud native platform and it fell flat, holding up deals until they redevelop it again. People are good, culture is decent depending on which team you’re on. There is nepotism at the top, so promotions are given to inexperienced people because they are liked. You are either liked and become part of the cool kids club or you’re forgotten with the rest of the employees. The annual raise was decent but not enough to move the needle. I got $6K raise after 2 years. Basically $3K a year. They also offered me RSUs worth $1500 that I can best over 4 years … lol fucking clowns. Because they cut corners and band aid fix everything, a lot of work will be dumped on you, because they are cheaper than chips, there won’t be anyone else to take on your workload which means you won’t be able to take a vacation so easily. Also, they offer 2 weeks vacation. Everywhere else I’ve worked at give me 3 weeks. I personally don’t have very good memories working for this company. They constantly cut corners and band aid fixed issues just enough not to piss off customers but they still managed to piss off customers on a regular basis.
