Pros

The base pay was nice. Many good actors are doing the best they can.

Cons

Bad messaging. Concerned with only vanity metrics. There is a lot of discrimination, mostly against women. IPO is always 18 months away, no matter when you ask the question. No 401k match. CEO is more of a mouthpiece and cheerleader rather than a true leader. They waste money on many failed bets rather than invest in long-term success.

Pros

-- Opportunity to write a history by making an important and successful database company for the first time in the past 4 decades -- Great size (under 100 people) and growth trajectory (accelerating growth) for the company, which means that the are opportunities to take up more responsibilities, while at the same time having good structure in place -- Great exposure to senior management and explosive growth means that you can learn a lot not just by doing your direct function, but also by observing things happenings around you every day -- Best engineering team in Silicon Valley -- Culture of investing in tools and processes to ensure that employees are productive -- Nice perks, like catered lunch & dinner, etc.

Cons

Pros

The talent here is truly world-class. Every employee -- from engineering to the business side -- is capable of building amazing things and with any company they wish. Employees come from schools like MIT, Stanford, Carnegie Melon, and Cal and haved worked with companies like Facebook, Google, and Oracle. With all that said, they somehow all chose to congregate here. You definitely never feel like the smartest person in the room. The culture is very loose and you'll always find people having casual conversations over ping pong or Philz Coffee. However, being a start-up, the environment is extremely motivated to get stuff done. The product is revolutionary and is the best in its class. They're working on some really cool stuff here. Given the nature of the product, everyone is expected to be technically-oriented to an extremely high-level. However, this does come with rewards as every division seems to be outperforming those in similar companies.

Cons

At this stage of the company, there doesn't seem to be enough bandwidth for training or support. Mentorship is hardly existent and people are expected to pick everything up on their own. Very unstructured. Rarely opportunities to work on projects outside of your focus. Most people are overloaded with projects.
