Great - Anonymous employee Tabula Inc Employee Review

Great place to work. The team has strong bond and working with each other is easy. Focusing on real work related issues with political dramas. Comparable benefits to other public companies. Management cares about its employees.

As a startup company, budget is tight and thus facility is mediocre which is not a big deal. No year bonuses in the later years (no one actually expects bonuses in start-up companies).

Since I have been at Tabula, I have been deeply impressed by my fellow employees, who are great stewards of a hugely complex technical conundrum. They are very dedicated, and they really want to make a mark on the industry of reconfigurable computing, even stretching to compete with Company X and Company A. But this technology could have much wider implications. Tabula may create a niche between APIP/ASIC chips and FPGAs, which would be a huge accomplishment.

Sine I have been working there, I have seen many example of the company management getting muddled as to what the end point should be. The exit strategies floated all seem extremely long term, and this is not appealing to employees who are counting on leveraging their options. In Series D financing, some dilution occurred, and employee who left, were essentially diluted to near zero. It is quite apparent to people both within and outside the company that they will need additional financing to bring the second round of ABAX chips to market. Only with the new line of ABAX chips can this company reach a break even state, so this financing must occur. It will result in further option/stock dilution to the employees. As time goes forward, the situation will become iffier and iffier for the newest employees. Loyalty is already on the wane.
