Pros

Got to work on Linux kernel code for scale out storage product, office close to public transit, not too many meetings.

Cons

Incompetent management preferred to hire based on perceived credentials rather than ability. Constant sexist undertones at the office. Company of 30 employees only had 3 women. Internal tooling was terrible. Below market rate salary. Constant staff turnover with many people quitting or getting fired.

Pros

People in the front line work hard and are great people

Cons

"ceo" is a joke. He's an engineer by trade but is learning on the job without the "learning". He's political and cannot be trusted. He lies to customers, investors, employees. Product was never ready when coming out of stealth in 2016. He lied to prospects about having existing customers that didn't exist. Only had companies testing it out by proof of concepts but he tells everyone how Datera has customers. That deception also is used to his employees. He insisted my accounts to be listed as customers when they have not bought. Look at the past to see how many executives have quit Datera and also many engineers and sales that have quit. The president quit after 6 months. Sales management quit. it's a toxic environment due to the ceo.

Pros

Unlimited cheese and crackers. Used to have some good engineers, only a handful are left. Walking distance from the cal train.

Cons

Odds are 1/3 that you will be fired or driven out. Very non competitive pay due to poor cash management. The low level code has about 8 unit tests in total. So you spend more of the time fixing regressions rather than trying to keep up with managements unrealistic feature goals.
