Nutanix Furlough

As most of you might know, Nutanix has furloughed close to 1.5k employees. As someone who joined Nutanix pretty recently for an entry level position, how worried should I be about this situation?

Op, what other offers you had while joining Nutanix ? Just curious.

Nutanix zzyjebrbt OP May 5, 2020

Out if the other offers I had I was considering joining Yelp. I'm kind of glad I didn't go down that route.

Is Anyone from nutanix who got furloughed here ?

Nutanix zzyjebrbt OP May 5, 2020

I was one of the people that got furloughed. I was mostly looking for any insight on how companies handle entry level roles in this type of scenario. I'm pretty sure I'm safe for now, but more curious if things take a turn for the worse because of this covid situation.

Start looking. It won’t hurt to start. I would say nutanix took a good decision to furlough instead of layoffs. But we can’t predict the future, so better to keep looking.

How many months furlough is it ?

Nutanix zzyjebrbt OP May 5, 2020

One week furlough

Wtf, I want that deal.

I think all employees in Nutanix are affected. Not just SJ office. I’m also grateful that the company did not choose lay-off as its first choice. Meanwhile, we should all start leetcoding. Personally, I like the team I’m working with. And I will not proactively look for opportunities. But just in case there is a lay-off, I can start interviews immediately.

Nutanix zzyjebrbt OP May 5, 2020

Yeah I'm glad they didn't jump straight to lay offs, but I also don't believe Nutanix is doing poorly enough to cause lay offs for now. The earnings reports were reassuring.

Is the furlough US only, or non-US offices as well?

Visa Nathan4u May 5, 2020

What does furlough exactly entail ? You won’t get pay for 1 week?

Nutanix hypaScala May 6, 2020

Did you get the answer OP?

Nutanix zzyjebrbt OP May 6, 2020

Got the general gist that it couldn't hurt to do some leetcode. With that said the earnings reports were slightly reassuring. Even with the pandemic there has still been slight growth in Nutanix earnings, but can't make any predictions for the future.

Nutanix hypaScala May 6, 2020

Would you have got a different gist if you asked internally instead?

Nutanix NutanXi May 6, 2020

OP, Slightly reassuring? You consider 10+% growth during pandemic as 'slight growth'? What was your expectation?

Nutanix zzyjebrbt OP May 6, 2020

My point was the earnings reports helped put my mind at ease, but since you're a stickler for words I'll send you whatever I'm going to post on blind from now on to make sure it's worded correctly. Wouldn't want to 'slightly' offend anyone.
