Pros

The people prior to July 2023 are amazing people to work with. The engineering team is exemplary and support (for the customer) is the best I have experienced in a 10+ year career.

Cons

New leadership charging in on the "AI" horse does not understand the market and the potential value prop for Postgres. Sales leadership in North America is the most toxic I have experienced in a sales careeer that includes major organizations like Oracle. To say EDB is toxic compared to Oracle should make you pause.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate your decade of service and your recognition of the outstanding work from our engineering and customer support teams. We’re proud of the strong technical foundation and customer-first culture that has been built over the years at EDB. We’re sorry to hear that your more recent experience was not positive. Leadership transitions and strategic shifts—especially in a fast-moving space like AI and open source—can create disruption. We are committed to navigating this change thoughtfully while continuing to deliver value to our customers and maintaining a culture where our people can thrive. We take concerns around culture and toxicity very seriously. While we don’t comment on individual personnel matters, we continually seek input from employees through multiple channels, and we use that feedback to guide improvements. We wish you all the best in your next chapter and thank you again for your contributions to EDB.

Pros

EDB is totally one of those rare companies where the mission and the people align perfectly. We’re at the forefront of enterprise Postgres and AI and that’s not just marketing speak. It’s the reality of our work every single day. The team is incredibly talented, collaborative, and generous with their knowledge. Whether you’re working across engineering, product, or customer-facing roles, you’ll find people who are deeply invested in both the technology and each other’s success. Leadership has a clear, compelling vision for where EDB is headed, especialy around sovereign data and AI; they communicate this with conviction. It’s empowering to work somewhere where you can see the roadmap and understand how your contributions fit into the big picture. Career growth is real here. EDB lives its core value of “Grow and Evolve”. I’ve experienced it firsthand, and I’ve watched colleagues step into bigger roles as the company continues to scale.

Cons

EDB moves fast, which is mostly a feature, not a bug. If you thrive in a high-energy environment and enjoy wearing multiple hats, you’ll love it. Those who prefer a slower, more structured pace may find the workload demanding at times.
