Cons
- This was once a great company, with great prospects, but the company strategically continues to miss the boat on market opportunities by moving to slow to jump on the wave of where organizations are focusing and showing the greatest interest. For example, really late to the market on AI and no real marketing punch or market strategy (100% C-Suite Lack of Execution) - Technology focused to a fault. The company is so enamored with it's technology that it doesn't realize that real enterprises have to buy it and justify using it at a large scale. This is a company forever locked in on innovators and early adopters and can't grasp why real database companies like Oracle or MongoDB have cracked the code. - Two years ago, the marketing department was in need of a re-tool and upgrade to take the company to the next level and help drive much needed market awareness and sales leads. They brought in some gotta-be-the-smartest-in-the-room outsider, who's done an amazing job at transforming it into a marketing organization that still needs a re-tool and upgrade, so no progress, and no understanding on how to make progress. It's been a disaster. I don't need to add more, there are plenty of real reviews where people are speaking the truth, mixed in with the 5-star 'its great' which I presume are mostly HR averaging-up reviews.
