Pros

-. Good work-life balance. - Interesting projects, working with cutting-edge technologies in a fast-growing organization, and grorwth/learning opportunities. - Highly competitive salary and benefits. - Both engineering staff and management is very cool to work with and easy to approach. - Very skilled colleagues you can learn from. - In engineering, there's a good culture of curiosity and continuous learning. - Commitment to the employees well-being and benefits (medical insurance, wellness friday as day-off once a month, free coaching/therapy online sessions, co-working areas through third-party providers). - Full-remote culture, the company has a legal presence and offices in many countries and can hire directly. - Culturally diverse and stimulating environment, where teams are spread across the globe and working on different time zones. - Flexibility and respect for region-wide working hours despite the global distribution. - In-person team gatherings. - Hiring process is fair, transparent and efficient especially on the engineering side.

Cons

- Product requirements change frequently. Whether it's really good or bad, it's actually a personal taste. - The company does invest in in-person gatherings, but how frequently depends on the team and sometimes it happens rarely. - Asynchronous communication across different time zones can be challenging sometimes, though it's easy to overcome with some organization and planning.

Pros

Open company with a caring ethos. Uses dedicated technical managers - whilst techies can be promoted to higher IC grades than their line managers supervisory ones. Finally a company where I am not at risk of getting given a manager with the people skills of a Dalek! Genuinely committed to open source from the CEO down. The home of Postgres - and expertise in it. Global company, one third based in USA. Get to work closely with colleagues around the globe. Good remuneration in EMEA, closer to USA levels than most of its competitors.

Cons

Engineering squads are too siloed. Should stir up squad membership after major Epics are completed to spread expertise. Full time remote working for all engineers is great, but there should be more effort to bring teams together in person a few times a year. The high population of architects is good - but there should also be All Engineering Season Retros and Roadmap Planning meetings a few times a year. So architectural input and direction can be gathered from everyone - especially the quiet ones! It would kill two birds with one stone to organise a few days biannually at a hotel for these.

Pros

Investment in technology to capture market share. Investment in enterprise class leaders. Investment in marketing systems.

Cons

Meh. Change in leadership means changing for the sake of change. Some good. Some bad. Saw a lot of folks leave because of personalities in leadership. Just did not have a good time there. Hard to put my finger on why.
