Pros

- Access to several great sales tools and platforms - Decent pay - EDB is well respected in the Postgres community - Working to innovate quickly

Cons

- Most of the leadership lacks technical data expertise which creates friction in the sales motions and positioning. - Currently a small total addressable market. EDB does not compete well with cloud competitors and primarily is geared towards on-prem Postgres in a market that continues to migrate to the cloud. - High turnover across the sales org. - Long, difficult sales motion accompanied by expectations for quick wins.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed and constructive feedback. We are pleased to see your positive notes on our tooling, compensation, and community respect. However, we take your concerns regarding sales turnover, leadership alignment, and our market positioning seriously. As the market evolves, we are continuously adapting our strategies and leadership support to reduce friction for our sales organization. We value this feedback as it helps us improve our internal culture and sales enablement.
