Business outlook
Pros
great DBAs (maybe not the top 5%, but everyone's solid), good salary, solid commitment to learning and continuous training. very good business model (remote database admin by a top caliber team)
Cons
very hierarchical structure, with little possibility for advancement into management unless you are in "the club". marketing team and HR push a vision of pythian that is almost cult-like and comes off as very naive and fake. senior management team is incredibly closed off and clearly not comfortable interacting with regular workers. the environment will be familiar to anyone who's done military service.
