      Pros

      - Rock solid technology and exciting business opportunity with tons of upside ahead - Highly capable executive leadership - Lots of respect and empathy for co-workers - Opportunity to create and build something amazing - everyone is aligned has a hand in creating the business and helping write its future - Very smart people to work with and learn from - Work/life balance is real here for everyone, including new parents

      Cons

      Sometimes conversations about small topics will take center stage in the internal news cycle, or all hands Q&A, which can be a distraction from the work at hand.

      Avoid, unless you're an engineer

      Pros

      Benefits are decent for a 10 year old "start up"

      Cons

      Overall MemSQL is a false promise type of workplace, I'd avoid at all costs. From the new Co-CEO, to shakeups in leadership which lead to regular individual contributors getting the ax, or choosing to bail for better more stable opportunities. This place seems like a good idea at first , from the convincing tenured recruiter to the seamless interview process, but once you start, and work and understand the mechanics, regret of joining this place ensues. - Poor company culture, fragmented and unexcited IT, HR and click-y teams. - The company's missions/ values are all lies, you will get targeted if you question the CEO's ideas, though bad. - The bureaucratic nightmare of trying to collaborate with other teams is everywhere. My own manager didn't support it. - Management lies, they don't have your back. Many work for self-gain and steal your own work as if it's their own. - Company is outsourcing more, moving jobs out the US, and seeking to undermine senior members of the company (from their skills and contributions) for cheaper labor. -Core product is buggy, lots of issues and has a long way to go before can be taken seriously IMO.

      Thank you for providing your feedback on your experience working at MemSQL. We strive for a positive employee experience and we’re sorry to hear that yours has not been so far. We take all employee feedback very seriously, and as a current employee, we encourage you to speak confidentially with your manager or our HR team. We have a strict non-retaliation policy, as well as an open-door policy so that we’re able to ensure all employee feedback and concerns are addressed confidentially. If, in your eyes, we aren’t living up to our values, I welcome the conversation about how to improve this for you and our colleagues. Regarding our product, I’ve been here long enough to see a pretty spectacular evolution from early production implementations to the incredibly reliable MemSQL 7.0 release. As an employee on the sales team, you likely know that we sometimes get into situations where our product isn’t the best fit for the use case at hand. While we don’t intend to be a database for all use cases, we are confident that we have a great product and, as you know, have received many positive customer testimonials that we feel demonstrate the effectiveness of our product.
