Toxic Culture

Pros

There are some great people at Neo4j; it used to be a great place to work. I think it is still a good place to work for many people, but the culture is eroding in many areas.

Cons

Stay away (especially if you are interested in a people team role) until a new Chief People Officer is hired. The current CPO is condescending and lacks thoughtfulness. She does not have the qualities you'd hope for in a CPO, namely strong leadership and the ability to create a positive work environment.

CEO and Board Asleep At The Wheel

Pros

Sure, there are worse places I could be working.

Cons

Sales are in a tailspin because the CRO nuked the sales staff. If you're thinking about joining Neo4j I caution against it. The company won't be around in two years and the tech will be acquired in a fire sale.

A Squandered Future

Pros

Product was unique, high value to customers who understand how to utilize its abilities. Many good, well meaning employees trying to make the company successful High barriers to market, giving Neo4j a distinct advantage in a complex technology space

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.
