Cockroach Labs reviews

• Inconsistent and often contradictory feedback from management • First-time managers placed in high-stakes roles without sufficient training or support • Performance expectations were vague and shifted over time • Feedback often felt disconnected from actual work quality or outcomes • Frontend and product experience work is under-prioritized and under-resourced • Tooling, testing practices, and frontend engineering maturity lag behind where they should be • Lack of clear long-term strategy for the cloud product and user experience • Career growth and promotion paths are not transparent • Leadership communication is often overly optimistic and not grounded in day-to-day reality

The product needs to be marketed better. It's in a very competitive space and suffers from lack of awareness.
