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

Passionate staff, truly skilled field sales, good product vision, benefits, and corporate culture. Good base pay.

Cons

- Corporate culture does not translate beyond Seattle HQ. The CEO ultimate does not believe in the need for sales people, and that is directly reflected in the lack of incentives. - Product features hopelessly lagging behind. Feature velocity has completely stalled. Most sales have been relationship based. Lack of features does not pave the way for repeat business or a larger addressable market. - Cliquish and rife with nepotism. Corporate decision making regarding hiring and firing seems to belong in the Appalachians rather than Seattle. - The Executive staff, with a few exceptions, lacks experience in either storage industry or their role. In some cases, both.
