Pros

Great co-workers: everybody I interact with is smart and easy to get along with. Everybody is obsessed with quality. Top notch working environment, fantastic espresso. Good work-life balance, with flexible hours and vacations.

Cons

As with any startup, I can't be certain I'll have a job next year, or that my stock options will ever be worth anything. I don't think C was the best language choice for the product.

Pros

Like most good start-ups there are tons of oportunites to make amazing things happen. With a dedication to doing the right thing for the customer at every step of the way, from product inception to every feature we build, Qumulo is amazing. An agile & XP shop from the inception they take agile fluency seriously and are striving for high performing teams. They encourage self-organizing throughout the engineering org with a flat hierarchy and much of the typical 'boss' work selected by team members as parts of the job they take on. They value work life balance with a required vacation minimum and take the time you need. There are no rock stars here, more session musicians who can step up and play well with anyone. A place that is about teams even more than individuals. Even working in hardware we still ship live code every 2 weeks, a competitive advantage that keeps us nimble and responsive to every nuance and change. Features released for our hardware appliance iteratively over weeks & months instead of every few years. I believe in what we do here, as does every other employee here.

Cons

With the huge growth rate of the company it's challenging to keep the culture intact. Leadership gives a good general idea of the direction we're going, but sometimes the specifics of what that means can vary depending on who you talk to on the leadership team. Like many places in tech our diversity could use some improvement. It's being worked on, but it's an area where we struggle.

Pros

Choosing to work at Qumulo is one of my all-time best life decisions. - Working on core systems is really enticing to me. We're writing code that people are going to trust with their most precious data. - The opportunity to move and explore new technical areas every 3 months instead of every three years is deeply gratifying. - Doing pair programming about 70% of the time means I'm actively collaborating with my co-workers most of the time. The fact that they're a joy to work with makes the experience super positive. -Doing just the right amount of planning (3 hours every 2 weeks), but being accountable and transparent about our execution on that plan, means that I'm spending most of my time actually doing work rather than being in meetings.

Cons

Qumulo's a startup. Insofar as it's in my power, it will be a success... but it's a huge endeavor with loads of risks.
