Pros

I was sold on MemSQL when I visited the HQ and went through the interview process. I was able to meet and have conversations with the entire leadership team and my peers. It was an amazing experience and really gave me a sense on how I could fit into the MemSQL culture and be successful with the company.

Cons

In hindsight, I wish I had scheduled more time at HQ before flying back. The day of meetings flew by and I did not get time to speak with many on the technical team.

Strong engineering team, weak business and executive teams

Pros

Lots of perks and top of market salary Beautiful office in the tech hub of San Francisco with plenty of room Motorized standing desks and access to mac, windows, and linux machines, as many monitors as you want Work life balance is good, but only because there is little demand Great food, snacks, PTO, 401k, health/vision/dental benefits and company outings Colleagues are overall smart and friendly for the most part, we recruit from top engineering schools

Cons

Recruiters are either untruthful or ill informed during interviews, not willing to talk about internal and product issues Amount of equity given out is negligible if you are actually able to figure out how many shares are outstanding, all revenue and valuation numbers are shrouded in secrecy Inexperienced CEO is not inspiring nor a leader, is inaccessible and seldom in office Company mission statement is not compelling Product roadmap is set by CEO and marketing team more so than by customer feedback and market demand At past companies, board member have been active members of the organization and have made themselves available by anyone at the company to help drive success and answer questions. At MemSQL, it seems like there is a new board member being added every few quarters and none have offered any guidance to anyone but the C level team.

Thank you for the review. We value all feedback even when it's tough to hear. As the head of People Ops, I'm always disappointed when an employee expresses displeasure about the organization or about how she or he has been treated at the company. And while we might have different points of view on the issues you raise, I respect your opinion and hope that you'll work with me, my team, or your manager to help improve your experience at the company.

Pros

Freedom on the job Work out of your home Strong sales support Good products Financially strong company Good co workers

Cons

Usual corporate overhead and barriers to productivity. Internal competition between sales reps calling on same account. Reorgs every year help profits, but hurt company and customer relationships
