Pros

A really well placed company which was doing everything right and all of a sudden all pros are vanishing. Wellness Friday is still a pro and soon it will vanish too.

Cons

A healthy company focused on Postgres and doing excellent in that. all of a sudden started feeling fomo of AI boom all credits to the new management .Now the downtrend for the company has started and that can be seen just by checking the company rating graph here on Glassdoor. Management need to understand that even if changes are needed they need to be gradually introduced with proper thoughtful decisions. Making random restructuring and changing priorities are kids stuff.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We appreciate your recognition of our past and are glad you see value in Wellness Fridays, which will remain an important part of our wellness initiatives. Regarding our strategic direction, the decision to embrace AI alongside Postgres is rooted in our commitment to innovation and meeting emerging market demands. That said, we recognize the importance of Postgres and the community, therefore we keep investing massively there. Your feedback on the pace and communication of these changes is valuable, and we’ll work on ensuring clearer communication and more gradual transitions where possible. Please feel free to reach out directly to your manager or ELT if you’d like to discuss your concerns in more depth.

Pros

- Access to several great sales tools and platforms - Decent pay - EDB is well respected in the Postgres community - Working to innovate quickly

Cons

- Most of the leadership lacks technical data expertise which creates friction in the sales motions and positioning. - Currently a small total addressable market. EDB does not compete well with cloud competitors and primarily is geared towards on-prem Postgres in a market that continues to migrate to the cloud. - High turnover across the sales org. - Long, difficult sales motion accompanied by expectations for quick wins.
