Pros

* Some very bright people work here * Opportunity to work with some key PostgreSQL community members * Some really great clients to work with

Cons

* Practically hostile to the PostgreSQL community * Rapidly becoming a mini-Oracle * All about the $$ * Absolutely HUGE case of NIH syndrome * Uncommunicative leadership * Everything that is done is done for the financial advancement of upper management

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.
