Pros

Their product is half good, that's about it They always keep you competitive, as you never know which day you would be fired - as company has two seasons - Hiring and Firing. Next few months could be hiring as they have already done mass lay offs in March and April 2020

Cons

Company is run like a friend’s club, with all sycophants at the helm. So called (mis) management are full of yes men and women who just want to keep their jobs without delivering any results and that’s why company has not grown in more than 3 years that I have been there. Hiring decisions are made at the whims of a fickle CEO, whose skin is so thin that he started mass layoffs of our colleagues within days in the covid-19 lock down. It is a permanent black blot on the company to fire people so quickly in such circumstances, not to mention that it has massively discouraged people like us who have been spared in these cuts. I cant wait to leave this company now !!

Pros

As a growing company and new leadership its totally revamped how exasol used to be. It's been great so far since I've joined. Exasol as a company is heading into the right direction. The support has over exceeded me expectations, honestly everything has exceeded my expectations. Exasol has proved why it was such a smart reason to join this growing company. Their is no micromanagement, every understands we all have a job and its going to get done either individually or as a team. The product is great and meets great needs for clients, its in a great market. The leadership team values anyones input and feedback and continuously ask for people to give their opinion on anything. You just don't get that from companies now a days. Its been one of the few jobs where I feel like I can speak up and people will listen. The culture is great everyone works together and helps each other even on different teams. I enjoy it so much here where I wake up and actually look forward to work in some cases, I've never felt like that before joining Exasol. I genuinely love here.

Cons

there is none to say!
