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.
