      The most supported I’ve felt in my career - excellent leadership and culture.

      Pros

      EDB is a fantastic home for anyone who values the open-source spirit. We act as a thoughtful partner and contributor to the Postgres community, investing in the tools we all rely on. This isn't just a corporate stance; it’s reflected in a culture that is more "open source" and collaborative than anywhere else I have worked. The Wellness Fridays (one Friday off per month) are a massive highlight. Having that day to handle life’s errands or just recharge is a game-changer for morale and something my peers at other companies are genuinely jealous of. While we work hard to hit aggressive deadlines, there is genuine compassion and flexibility for when life inevitably happens. I feel more supported here than at any other time in my career; the management chain is technically excellent, and our CHRO has been a standout driver of positive change since her arrival.

      Cons

      The "Timezone Tax" is a reality for a US-based company. To stay connected and maintain visibility for progression in non-US regions, you have to accept late-night/early morning meetings and asynchronous context-gathering via recordings. Additionally, Slack fragmentation is a persistent challenge in a global organization, which can sometimes dilute important conversations.

      Company is in chaos

      Pros

      Postgres is a the best and most popular open-source database solution in the world. It is a huge market

      Cons

      - The executive management team has totally turned over within the last year. - Numerous layoffs - Sales leadership is toxic; "The beatings will continue until morale improves." - The company made a huge mistake by entering the Postgres cloud space, thinking they could compete with AWS, Microsoft, Google etc. They basically created a new business unit and hired alot of people. After about a year of dismal sales, they abandoned the project and fired everyone. Now, the CEO is embarked on another wild goose chase with AI
