Pros

- A very good clientele - good scopes of learning during an initial phase of a career - allows special time for training - Good appraisal comparing to other big companies

Cons

- No job satisfaction if you are a sincere worker - No industry standard package - In support/RDBA managers can give advanced sick leaves without any sickness to their favourite subordinates. - People with fake/invalid degree certificates may reach the USA and apply for H1B in a later stage as well. No authentic organisation would retain such an employee with a fake certificates. - If you are an apple of manager's eyes, you may definitely get 100% hike and promotion. But, being hard-working is not sufficient to get management's attention. - HR and top management turn deaf ears to your fair complains - When I used to work, in our team, managers were allowed to work from home but the rest of the staff was expected to attend the office - Managers even treat non-favourites partially on the floor - If you wanna pursue any other better opportunity inside EDB, your manager doesn't relieve you with a promise to give you a higher position, which never happens. - If the manager wanna terminate you but the one can't as you are a good performer, he/she asks you work in night shifts for a longer period. - Certain policies designed by the HR can be overruled by managers, and the HR never takes any action. Favouritism is not new in the corporate world. But, when the top management is not interested in listening about it, one must understand that it's inculcated in the work culture and promoted by the management itself.

Pros

Good Company Good policies , until you resigned Commission calculation for variable payout is quite confusing

Cons

EDB. Need to set up the process, and role and responsibilities matrix specially in India. There is lots of things are going on assumptions without accountability.

Pros

Open company with a caring ethos. Uses dedicated technical managers - whilst techies can be promoted to higher IC grades than their line managers supervisory ones. Finally a company where I am not at risk of getting given a manager with the people skills of a Dalek! Genuinely committed to open source from the CEO down. The home of Postgres - and expertise in it. Global company, one third based in USA. Get to work closely with colleagues around the globe. Good remuneration in EMEA, closer to USA levels than most of its competitors.

Cons

Engineering squads are too siloed. Should stir up squad membership after major Epics are completed to spread expertise. Full time remote working for all engineers is great, but there should be more effort to bring teams together in person a few times a year. The high population of architects is good - but there should also be All Engineering Season Retros and Roadmap Planning meetings a few times a year. So architectural input and direction can be gathered from everyone - especially the quiet ones! It would kill two birds with one stone to organise a few days biannually at a hotel for these.
