Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you’ve had a positive experience with our Wellness Fridays, benefits, and the teammates you've worked with — we take pride in building a supportive environment and fostering strong peer relationships. That said, we’re genuinely sorry to hear your concerns around culture, product direction, and turnover, especially within our sales organisation. Feedback like yours is important and helps us reflect on where we need to improve. EDB is evolving to meet changing market needs, including responsibly exploring AI and adjacent technologies. Our intention is not to lose sight of our core mission or customers, but to innovate in ways that complement and enhance our strengths in Postgres. We understand that transitions can create uncertainty, and we’re actively working to ensure clarity, alignment, and continued support across all teams. We also recognise that organisational change, particularly in fast-moving environments, can create challenges. That’s why we’re investing in leadership development, clearer communications, and reinforcing a culture rooted in transparency, collaboration, and impact. We’re grateful for your contributions during your time here and appreciate your candid input. If you’d be open to a further conversation with your People Partner, we’d welcome the opportunity to learn more from your experience. — The EDB Team

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.

We value this feedback as it helps us improve our internal culture and sales enablement.
