Company is in chaos

Pros

Postgres is a the best and most popular open-source database solution in the world. It is a huge market

Cons

- The executive management team has totally turned over within the last year. - Numerous layoffs - Sales leadership is toxic; "The beatings will continue until morale improves." - The company made a huge mistake by entering the Postgres cloud space, thinking they could compete with AWS, Microsoft, Google etc. They basically created a new business unit and hired alot of people. After about a year of dismal sales, they abandoned the project and fired everyone. Now, the CEO is embarked on another wild goose chase with AI

Greed did it again

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Hard working people, Wellness Fridays, Learning opportunities

Cons

Marketing is horrible, Executive chain is horrible, titles that mean absolutely nothing, new CEO is laughable, more departmental silos than ever before, and morale is at an all time low. Everyone still employed (and formerly employed) knows that bringing in Bain Capital was a terrible idea. Decision was made as a result of Greed…nothing more. And every existing employee knows Bain will rip & replace, then sell off and/or package EDB elsewhere. It’s a matter of time. Shame on the former CEO for allowing this to happen. You’ve lost my respect entirely.

Complete disarray

Pros

When I was first hired, there were a lot of pros about this job, including the integrity of working for an open-source software company. My expertise was highly needed and there was an unending list of problems to solve.

Cons

Complete lack of leadership, company vision, and appreciation for the importance of operational systems in running every aspect of the business. There is a huge branding issue, in that no one know who EDB is, and for some reason the leadership thinks that demolishing the marketing team and laying everyone off is a great way to solve that problem...
