Pros

* Amazing product with a lot of potential; incredibly exciting to be working in the product organization at this time * Talented team of people across all orgs. who work incredibly hard and go great lengths to reach success * You will never be bored & always have new challenges ahead of you (in the best of ways) * There are opportunities to grow and pivot across roles * My experience has been that good performance has been rewarded

Cons

* Burnout is real. It's a startup that's growing, which means you wear many hats and have an incredible amount of work to do at a given point in time. This is exciting and challenging, but it can get heavy and hard to balance it with life in general. Would recommend leadership do more to look at burnout across their orgs. * Leadership and management don't address the issue of poor performers fast enough. This brings down morale for people who are performing. * We are a small company so this is challenging, but we don't seem to have any leadership driven goals or plans to address diversity issues.

Pros

Work is in an interesting space (low level systems) Coworkers are super open and helpful You get to own the feature you are developing on Lots and lots of database problems to work on

Cons

Career growth isn't talked to as much - you have to go seek it out yourself You end up owning features you developed on in the past which can overload you leading to a lot of tech debt Mentorship is hit or miss - you need to be proactive and find it yourself If you don't like databases...lots and lots of database problems to work on Higher churn than is ideal - team suffers a lot when knowledge with a senior employee leaves Weak retention of engineers - engineers seem to leave for competitors/other companies due to compensation reasons

Solid foundation with an amazing trajectory!

Pros

I’ve been at MemSQL for a few years and can confidently say we are in the best position we ever have been to be incredibly successful. The company is currently in that perfect mid-size start-up place where there is a super solid foundation but still a lot of exciting growth ahead. The market opportunity is huge, the product is impressive, customers are loving it and expanding their contracts every year, teams are still lean so the impact is high, and we are growing. I foresee exponential growth in both revenue and headcount year over year and a bright future ahead! There are few opportunities to work at startups like MemSQL. Here there is a maniacal focus on building a strong, well managed, and operationally efficient business that still maintains the innovation obsession you expect in a startup culture. We operate with a level of maturity as a startup because we are truly building an enterprise business to support other enterprise businesses. This has been especially true and valuable over the past few months navigating COVID-19, I feel grateful to work at a healthy company that is stable, financially secure, and fairly insulated from the greater economic impacts of coronavirus. Most importantly there are some of the smartest and most driven people I’ve ever worked with on the team here. Everyone is highly motivated to take this company and our technology to new heights. It’s incredibly inspiring to work with such incredible people who push themselves and those around them to constantly grow.

Cons

We’re moving really quickly and sometimes that can lead to a lot of challenges in scaling a business… One area is in communication breakdowns. Communications have improved but could still stand to be better across the organization. Second, it’s great that we are a high performance-driven company but sometimes there are unrealistic expectations and not mutual accountability from the company in setting people up for success in hitting/exceeding expectations. You have to be a very self sufficient person to succeed here.
