Pros

Pay and generous home office allowance.

Cons

Micro-management and disrespect from supervisor. During an introductory call with a representative from the government, who was not at all happy with the company's compliance efforts prior to my arrival, my direct supervisor told this person when referring to me, that he would "drive him like a mule and make it a full-time job!" How disrespectful is that? I knew at that point that it wasn't a good fit and I resigned shortly after that. I wrote an email to the company president to tell him why I had resigned after only a month, thinking I owed him an explanation, but I never received the courtesy of a reply.

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.
