High Turnover in Marketing Leads to Chaos

Pros

Really cool location and office. I enjoyed the culture across the company for the most part: nice people, weekly all-hands from leadership ... even as a full-time remote employee, I felt connected to the company.

Cons

I worked in Marketing and the amount of turnover that happened while I was there was insane. After the CMO left in 2019, he has been replaced by numerous people in Marketing leadership - all of them trying to distance from the previous regimes and put their own stamps on things, but without trying to really learn from any past mistakes or missteps. Combine that with a general attitude of "hey, we're a startup sometimes things are messy when you move fast and break things" and you have a recipe for chaos.

Pros

Most of the people at the IC level are genuinely nice.

Cons

-layoffs or re-orgs every 6 months for 4 years -zero compassion from leadership across the board -broken systems and processes that run around in circles to try and fix between all the teams -teams don’t communicate internally or work together at all which results in chaos during launch time -horrific product marketing team -leadership does not care about the well being of employees and completely stopped doing performance reviews and company reviews (hint: the results were never good) -nose diving NPS score from customers, constantly selling that we are *this close* to IPO, churning long-term customers -promoting people internally who do not have the skill set to do the job (see many prior posts on this topic)

Pros

* Best in class engineering team and fantastic, driven people * The world is your oyster - lean startup means theres massive opportunity to make an impact and become a key member part of Qumulo's journey to IPO/Exit. There's basically no micromanagement and you are given a ton of independence * You will feel like you are part of something important, exciting, engaging, awesome, and fun. * Our customers are awesome, work on really cool stuff, and it's great to talk to them * Our business performance keeps improving YoY :) * Seattle HQ is awesome - has great views - tons of space

Cons

* This isn't for everyone. At larger companies there's more structure and process. Roles are more tightly defined and you can safely play in a single lane. Be prepared to spend some time orienting yourself and finding how to apply your talents and deliver the most value. * Since the shift in economic outlook and the mass tech industry layoffs, play time is over. Qumulo is firing on all cylinders which means lots of stuff going on, lots to keep up with. This isn't just a paycheck - its a mission.
