Pros

Most of the engineers are friendly and helpful. Great company atmosphere. Doing great in taking care of the code as a whole.

Cons

Pair Programming seems to be too often, at least for me. Management is not so great. Too many meetings. Not so stable, it's a startup anyway.

Pros

You get issued a loaded Macbook pro You get to work with really smart people If you get your job done, working hours are flexible and vacation is unlimited The organization is really good at identifying and root-causing bugs quickly The organization is really good at delivering fixes IN PRODUCTION RELEASES :D The product is actually loveable The Customer Supp^H^H^H^HSUCCESS team is amazing enough that it helps to differentiate the product The product's REST API is pretty sane and very useful

Cons

Qumulo doesn't really have a long-term precise strategic roadmap with estimations of what year a particular feature will arrive. Date commitments are only made for enhancements that have been fully-estimated and are in progress. Qumulo is still missing some 'standard' NAS features It takes awhile for customers to get comfy with rapid releases Qumulo isn't great at creating/maintaining standard documentation

Pros

Lots of hard problems to solve. We use advanced algorithms as well as low-level Linux tricks to build a sophisticated scale-out distributed filesystem from the ground up. Strong culture of teamwork and collaboration. I really feel like my teammates have the same goals as I do and that we have shared ownership of the work. That’s a lot more fun than a bunch of people working independently on parallel tracks. Senior leadership knows the storage business cold and we continue to make good strategic decisions that allow us to grow rapidly. Best of all, our customers are really excited about what we’re building and are our most vocal champions.

Cons

Qumulo’s not a place for people who want to be left alone to do things “their way.” If you’re not interested in active collaboration and experimentation you’ll probably dislike the engineering culture here. The flat structure probably won't appeal to folks who want a fast track to management, at least in engineering. But that doesn't mean you can't have an outsize impact here.
