Pros

The company is in a big and competitive market. It grows very fast as an open source alternative to snowflake. Culture is very transparent, e.g. all-hands meeting, so we know what's going on. Leadership team is very capable (bottom up, EU to US market strategy) and caring (do care the employee difficulty). Management team (at least the kernel team) always stands in the first line and takes the burden. Colleagues are very friendly and helpful. 2 times a year offsite and 25 days PTO, which is awesome.

Cons

There is nothing to complain.

Pros

- Competitive salary and compensation. - Full remote work and geographic flexibility.

Cons

- Emotionally unstable and reactive management; decisions are often political rather than performance-based. - Toxic internal culture driven by ego, competition, and hypocrisy rather than collaboration. - Advancement is based on pleasing leadership rather than merit — excessive internal politics. - Attempts to classify employees as contractors, creating disguised employment with no social protection or legal clarity. - Business model driven more by speculation than by product maturity; essential features like JOINs, standard SQL support, and horizontal scalability are lacking — all of which are critical for any serious data warehouse. This makes the product very difficult to sell, as it remains a niche technology that does not scale well. - Lack of transparency and honesty in internal processes and communication.
