Pros

We genuinely have some interesting problems to solve and the dev team culture is good.

Cons

Hazelcast suffers from a lack of direction. The current leadership is hugely underwhelming and the morale is low everywhere. A duplicitous HR and an ill fitting CEO. Bizzarely a lawyer with zero credentials for success means multiple failures and exits of all competent team members. The team laughs and is insulted by his claims of being a coder and we are seeing back to back failures. It feels like a sinking ship and we are all looking to leave.

Remote work, connected with great colleagues

Cons

No vision for the product, no clear message or market position. Setting the team up for failure. Mass lay offs show trouble
