Pros

-Fully remote (for NA employees) -Decent benefits

Cons

Unfortunately, have to echo what many others have said before me. I believe that Emil was once earnest when he said that he wanted Neo4j to be your "favorite job ever," but it seems like he has totally lost the plot and has been getting some very bad advice. Neo4j was once a collaborative and dynamic work environment with an exciting and cutting edge product that made us best-in-class. Now, it's pretty clear that Emil is fully floundering and the business and its employees are suffering. -Revolving door of E-Staff. Either being fired or resigning at an alarming pace, resulting in inconsistent expectations, fear, and uncertainty. How can they have faith and buy-in to the mission of the company if leadership is a revolving door of new faces? -The interim CPO has single-handedly torpedoed morale. She was originally hired under the old CPO as VP of People Strategy but was named interim CPO after Kristin left. Starting on day one she made it her mission to undermine and dismantle any and all efforts, even those that fall far outside of her scope. She has led with fear and has ruthlessly pursued any cost-cutting measures, including unnecessary RIFs that have only been targeted at NA employees, leaving the EMEA people team entirely in tact, and eliminated most learning and engagement programs. She was brought on in the London office, apparently as a "strategic business decision" to bridge the gap between NA and EMEA but so far she has cultivated an culture of divisiveness which has resulted in about 80% of the people team leaving in a span of three months. Not to mention, she has made disparaging remarks about pregnant women. Trust me when I say this is not the place to plant roots. Even if you don't heed my advice about the toxic culture, this company rarely hits their targets, and as of 2024 has yet to turn a profit. This company is a sinking ship with a floundering and fickle CEO with a toxic CPO whispering in his ear.
