Pros

- A lot of autonomy, plus you really get recognized for your work - Sociable co-workers: the office space is very open, everyone gets along pretty well - Wine & Cheese every Friday night: each Friday after 4:30pm, everyone would stop working, and there would be food and beverages already prepared in the kitchen, sometimes the CEO Barry will give a quick update on the company wether it's funding or product development, it's a great chance to know your peers and understand other people's daily tasks

Cons

- expectations are very high, if you're not ready to work your butt off, it's not for you - you REALLY need to show initiatives and go out of your way to come up with things beyond your assignments to contribute to the company; the company takes care of its employees, they expect you to do the same in return

Don't, just Don't

Pros

Distributed SQL technology should be interesting and relevant, look at Cockroach, Yugabyte etc

Cons

Its hard to know where to start, a company thats been around for as long as NuoDB should have a significant number of customers-quite simply they don't. The reasons for it are clear, and it comes back to the supposed leadership of the company, The significant redundancies earlier in the year had nothing to do with Covid but used that as an excuse to cover up the lack of a coherent strategy.

Pros

I've been with NuoDB for a number of years now: the focus of the company has improved markedly. For a while we were chasing any dollar we could find, which led to some schizophrenic (and not productive) requirements and unfair burdens on the dev team. In the last 12-18 months that has (mostly) stopped and we've identified a reasonable target market and taken the time to stabilize the product. * Fantastic, smart people * Challenging and exciting technology * Great environment: open, collaborative, transparent mgmt team * Flexible: work from home is fine, good PTO * Good work/life balance: taking vacation is encouraged, family responsibilities are taken seriously. I've worked many places, even bigger companies, with much worse attitudes. * Move to Alewife... much more convenient (and less expensive)

Cons

* Codebase is showing some age. * Even with tighter focus we have more things we need to do than people to do them. * Emphasis on a few large accounts is great for the company but need to be careful that it's good for the product, too. * Move to Alewife... Kendall is much more fun. At least it's still a quick, convenient T ride away from Cambridge.
