Pros

Employees Wellness Fridays introduced during Covid days.

Cons

You think, you are performing well but be ready, you can be laid off any time. Top management mentally lives on some other planet. Some very talented and highly experienced, lead level people may be made to work under leadership of juniors not competent enough.

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.
