Great Engineering Company

Pros

Very technical company. Great engineers. Everyone is enthusiastic. What we do is technically hard and the challenge motivates people. Hazelcast has the most widely used In-Memory Data Grid - and its use has grown by more than 400% in the last 3 years. So this feels good.

Cons

Being a distributed company we don't always see each other as much we would like. But we are all in Europe so we can all attend team standups and are about 3 hours apart in timezone at most. Although there are two Hazelcast Dev Days each year, a week where all engineers come together and co-work. Project X is a highlight.

Strong technology, challenging market

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.
