Pros
Raj Verma is a fantastic CEO thus far— smart, articulate, funny, personable, driven with a vision. And the VPs and other C-suite seem similarly capable of taking SingleStore to the next level. SingleStore is a great place to work remotely if you’re into WFH— the company has offices in SF, Sunnyvale, Portugal, India, but majority work remotely. There are semi-regular onsite optional meetings or events. The flexibility is a big selling point. I think compensation is very competitive, and the company is on a great trajectory, likely to IPO or maybe get acquired in the next year or two. Growing quickly which brings a lot of benefits for all of us.
Cons
There’s a ton of meetings, and emails, and Slack channels. When I first joined I made the mistake of assuming I needed to be at every meeting I was invited to, which meant I would booked or double-booked all day every day. Thankfully I learned more and more that I didn’t need to attend every meeting, so I got better at declining and prioritizing, unsubscribing, etc.
