Pros

Wellness Fridays are fun having an extra day off every month

Cons

The quest to make EDB Postgres an AI company isn't working and failing. Analytics is worst in class while Oracle to Postgres migrations is non-existent as prospects take EDB sales quote, give it to Oracle and magically get better Oracle pricing and never go with EDB Postgres, EDB needs partners for DB2 and Oracle migrations as EDB services is weak and lack talent for these complex migrations. The platform barely works and limited customers use it. High customer churn. High turnover of employees in all departments. Various and continual high turnover of sales leaders and sales types. Competitor replacement program is a disaster as truly not a like for like replacement. The product team knows it, the sales team knows it—it's not fun. Employees have been promised equity, but the company is so far away from being good and getting bought. The continual company changes, team cuts, repositions and rebrands, relaunches, and continual changing strategy shifts have not moved EDB forward; they've lost strong talent and heart in the process. The marketing team lacks real talent and energy. EDB is imploding quitely. Constantly missed sales forecasts, quarter over quarter and your smaller competitors like CrunchyData and Nano acquired by Snowflake and DataBricks should be an embarrassment as IBM will NOT acquire EDB.

Pros

Salaries are fair, wellness fridays are great.

Cons

Upper management is awful - nothing gets done. Culture is to blame others for things that don’t get done - turnover is a weekly occurrence, communication is awful and people are in roles they don’t know how to do.
