Pros

Neo is a Swedish company at heart and this manifests itself in many different ways - but the key is the sense of fairness. I joined Neo after working at one of its major competitors and the difference is unbelievable. Even my dentist has observed that I've stopped grinding my teeth. The company is growing quickly and is losing some of that 'we all know each other' feeling and some freedoms have been lost, but it's anything but a highly regulated paranoid tech company where the bottom line justifies the means.

Cons

Salaries are fair - not great, but fair. Generous stock options and 401k matching are not available.

Pros

World-class leader in graph database software

Cons

Neo4j provides its technology to some of the world's largest intelligence and military clients, including the Israeli and US military-industrial sectors, thereby enabling these entities to target specific groups and individuals. Demand that Neo4j cease selling to organizations implicated in acts of genocide or to those, like the potential incoming Trump administration, who may pose a threat to citizens, immigrants, and others. Neo4j risks becoming another Anthropic—a company whose world-altering technology is used by organisations contributing to the oppression and harm of innocent people worldwide. Urge them to put an end to this practice and to reconsider supporting such activities financially.

Pros

Graph is very intuitive and fun.

Cons

Like many tech companies, part of the compensation may be equity. You'll get a number of shares, vesting over 4 years, that are worth "a lot". It turns out that "a lot" is likely < $10/share (liquidity aside). For me, the equity part of the compensation effectively rounded to almost zero. There was also no 401k match. Neo4j has had a couple of rounds of layoffs. That's worth considering if you have a need for financial stability/security. You're exposed to risks you might see in a startup, but minus the upside.
