Pros

The technology is extremely strong, with a great pedigree, and that has attracted a strong following of blue-chip FinServ customers. They use Hazelcast to manage use cases where databases just wouldn't be fast enough. Like payments, where response times need to be in the low milliseconds to be competitive. Hazelcast also does both caching of data and processing of data with its Jet stream processing engine. Jet is really useful for these kind of datasets as many of the operations are really stages of a pipeline. They have made some strong hires recently.

Cons

There have been many leadership changes in the last six months, but things seem to have stabilized now.

Pros

The technology itself is great and used by many big-name customers in mission critical systems. The culture is very collegial and there is generally a lot of collaboration up and down and across the org chart. Employees have a fair amount of autonomy. People work hard but a balanced life is encouraged.

Cons

Frequent direction changes. It's a necessary function of the market the product serves and tech in general but at times it can be stressful.
