Stay away!

Pros

Decent compensation and benefits for the people team

Cons

Stay away from this company until a new Chief People Officer can be hired. The current CPO is extremely toxic, with half a dozen people leaving since she took over, and most of the rest looking to leave as soon as the market allows. Who runs the People team says a lot about how the culture is handled, and the effect spreads to other teams - IT, Finance, Legal, etc. Feedback has been shared many times and it has been met with resistance, blaming others and overall little to no change. Multiple people have reported this behavior but the CEO has done little to stop it from happening. We can only hope that they will hire someone new to lead the team. In the meantime, the culture is, at best, gossipy, sarcastic, rude and unsupportive. I'm only writing what I'd tell a friend if they were interesting in applying. Neo4j used to be so great, and I'm sad that this one person has destroyed such a wonderful team. Until a new CPO can be hired, please, for your own mental health and stability: stay away!

Don't drink the kool-aid

Pros

- Leader in an interesting technology - Decent base + bonus - Sticky customers - Good, stable place to work, if you're in product development in the UK or Sweden. - Initially I got to work on interesting projects.

Cons

I drank the Kool Aid as the CEO declared "I want this to be the last job you've ever worked for". Then he brought in new C-level execs, who want to rebuild. It's typical and understandable that they wanted to bring their own people. I accepted that my days were numbered, but the way it was done was really bad. The VP hired above me was particularly horrendous. They left me and team members with emotional trauma. They liked to micromanage and used bullying tactics - like public humiliation and yelling - when things didn't go their way. even when they caused the outcome through their micromanagement. They were a bully in meetings, even cross functionally. I was glad to be out of there when I had the chance.

Pros

Work from home, decent pay, a lot of freedom

Cons

Pay is not great, I don't think the IPO will go well, burns a lot of money and makes a little
