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.

Not a Good Career Move

Pros

There are great reference customers. The technology works and solves hard problems.

Cons

This is not a good place for sales reps looking to grow their careers OR to make money (not anymore, anyway). This is a "good old boys' club." The base pay and comp plan is not in line at all with other startups of this size. Top reps should be making more than $500k and no one is making anywhere near that. There is no visibility whatsoever into commission statements - there are no commission statements - so it is impossible to tell if you are getting paid correctly (if it is that hard to find out, you're probably not!). The sales cycle is extremely long, and you are not set up for success. Training is very minimal. The lack of communication is probably the worst thing, especially with everyone working from home. There is almost NO communication among the sales team. No one knows what anyone else is doing. No camaraderie, no feeling like you are part of something big. A very small handful of people made quota this year - almost no one is making money - and 75% of the reps have already quit. If you are looking for a growing, dynamic software company to add to your resume, I suggest you keep looking. This is not it. I got out in time and will not be exercising my options because I seriously doubt they will be worth much.
