SingleStore Software Developer reviews

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

As others have mentioned, you need to be independent and adaptable to do well here. It's still a small company where things are changing quickly. I was given a great mentor when I joined -- but ultimately it's been up to me to unblock myself on my own work and figure out what I need to be more productive. There's very little micromanagement here, and I'm expected to hold myself accountable for my work. Long term business outlook is a bit uncertain. The big bet is that Helios will succeed in the cloud-native database space, and it remains to be seen whether that will pan out. The uncertainty doesn't really bother me (I care more about being interested in the engineering work) but it might be a negative for others.
