Great People, Very Uncertain Future

Pros

There are some of the brightest database minds on board. Diversity is good in terms of men & women... Pay can be pretty competitive.

Cons

Leadership frequently tries to provide confidence that the company is in a good position in spite of several layoffs within the last year. Sales & Engineering teams are not well coordinated which causes overpromising and disappointment for many customers. Sales pressure is important but when a customer ends disappointed the blame is shifted to employees, not the leadership who approved said changes. Company does not support pursuing certifications or other forms of higher education while employed. Diversity is not great outside of that but this is not a major negative since the company is still pretty small and distributed. Hopefully this improves in the future. Healthcare benefits are Okay for the industry but there are much better options out there.
