Pros

The people were the reason I joined... but then they fired them all.

Cons

SqlDBM is a prime example of a company that values profit over people. The toxic work environment, fostered by a power-hungry individual, is incredibly unfortunate. The company's leadership failed to address the rampant mistreatment of employees, allowing a single individual to create a hostile and demoralizing atmosphere. Benefits are mediocre at best, and parental leave is virtually nonexistent. The company's callous disregard for its workforce culminated in a mass layoff conducted by an external consulting firm, a move that speaks volumes about the leadership's lack of empathy and integrity. If you value your mental health and career progression, steer clear. They are a master of empty promises, offering lip service to employee well-being while consistently failing to deliver on its commitments.

Sales isn’t for the faint of heart, it’s a daily mix of strategy, hustle, and humble pie. But if you love the game, there’s no better place to play.

Pros

Exciting Startup Energy: electric atmosphere that makes coming to work actually enjoyable. There's a real sense that you’re part of something growing and impactful. Empowered Ownership: You’re not just another cog in the machine—everyone's voice matters here. Ideas are encouraged, and execution is fast. Tight-Knit Team: The culture is warm and collaborative. People genuinely support each other, and the lack of red tape makes collaboration effortless. Remote-First Flexibility: Great work-life balance with the flexibility to work from anywhere while still staying deeply connected to the team. Cool Tech + Purpose: You get to work on meaningful problems in the modern data stack space, which is both technically exciting and highly relevant.

Cons

Startup Pace Isn’t for Everyone: Things move quickly and sometimes processes are being built as we go. If you need rigid structure, this might feel a little too dynamic. Wearing Multiple Hats: With a lean team, sometimes you’ll find yourself jumping between roles. But if you like learning fast and trying new things, this is a plus.
