Pros

1. Reasonably good NoSQL product, 2. Good open source company clientele

Cons

1. LACK OF TRUST on employees. Biased management. good books, bad books. Arrogance 2. Extremely Non cooperative colleagues. people just want to see you fail and feel miserable. everybody sounds like genius in meetings, when you actually run into problems, if you look around will find all the genius colleagues vanished into thin air leaving to choke all day 3. Micro management. Everything is monitored. In-Out swipe, bandwidth usage, coffees. Senior staff love to peek into your laptop from behind over the shoulder. 4. Every month management reviews who is redundant resource. layoffs are every month activity. 5. You have hear words like "will kick you", "will bleed you out" from senior staff 6. Company of size 50 has processes of generally followed in larger service based companies making teams hard to communicate with each other. senior staff make you feel like third class citizen in the company. 7. Work life balance? All work, No Life. Even you sweat all day working, management thinks you browsed fb and went home. 8. In short, people here are senseless to what extend they can push a person. unless you are desparate for job & at edge of selling your kidneys, stay out. Seriously

Pros

The core product is genuinely strong and well suited for real time use cases across adtech, banking, and identity. The engineering talent is deep, and many coworkers are smart, collaborative, and sincerely invested in the company’s success.

Cons

Over time, executive decision making has increasingly felt disconnected from field realities and customer needs. In particular, recent leadership decisions from senior management, including the CEO and CFO, have been widely debated internally and have created significant frustration within the sales organization. From my perspective, a number of these decisions negatively impacted morale and contributed to instability in the sales team, with many strong performers choosing to leave. There was also a growing sense in the field that execution misalignment at the top made it harder to maintain momentum with customers and support growth initiatives effectively.
