Pros

-Amazing team! Everyone is incredibly intelligent, hard working, and inspiring to be around. By far the smartest group of people I have ever met and I am constantly growing and learning from them. I am excited to come to work everyday because of my coworkers. -Small enough that everyone plays an important role and contributes greatly. Employees can take full ownership of their roles and responsibilities. -Solid product that is gaining traction with major enterprise companies. Our growing roster of customers makes me confident in the future and stability of the business. -Flat organization that allows a lot of face time and access to the management/key decision makers -Impressive strategic investors and advisors (a group of very smart people gave us a lot of money to keep doing what we are doing!) -Fun company happy hours, events, off sites! -Catered lunch and dinner. Plus unlimited snacks and drinks! -Beautiful office in SOMA that is dog friendly and close to ATT Park, Caltrain, and fun bars!

Cons

-Not enough product trainings for non engineering team members -Lack of communication and follow through -Low female to male ratio -Don't always provide employees with all the resources necessary to be extra successful. Odd priorities when it comes to budgets and spending money.

Your feedback is extremely appreciated. All of your concerns and advice to upper management is something I can align with. We have had numerous team members express the need for more women on the team, especially within engineering. As I am sure you are aware, this is a big issue throughout the industry and we want to be at the forefront of workplace equality and representation in this industry. Our Director of HR along with several of our employees are making this a central mission for the company. We have begun engaging women and minority organizations in the industry for guidance on this initiative. This is an area of concern we have identified with the recent growth in headcount and observed/recognized disproportionate representation . We have just begun brainstorming and working on developing a plan of action. We need to get more change agents involved in making this come to fruition. I'd love to chat with you on this at length and hear any thoughts and ideas you have on promoting more diversity at MemSQL.

Pros

I had the opportunity to work with talented people across sales, engineering, and leadership who were always willing to help. The company offers strong learning opportunities, especially for those interested in technology and

Cons

Focus on creating a culture where employees feel respected, supported, and valued. Take employee feedback seriously and hold managers and team leads accountable for how they interact with their teams. When employees raise concerns or ask for support, ensure those issues are addressed with meaningful action rather than being overlooked. Better communication, transparency, and leadership accountability would help build trust, improve morale, and strengthen employee retention.
