Pros

EDB is a well run company who absolutely knows what its mission is; to profitably grow the company for a liquidity event in 2-3 years. Open source in general and Postgres in particular, are top of mind now in Corporate America. Postgres is a solid DBMS and a strong and lower cost alternative to Oracle. This resonates with many companies. There is a buzz of activity here and the future looks bright.

Cons

Not sure this is a con but if you like to be coddled and encouraged, then EDB might not be for you. The HQ is functional but not lavish. There are no beer kegs and neck massages. Come here to work and make $$.

Pros

- Access to several great sales tools and platforms - Decent pay - EDB is well respected in the Postgres community - Working to innovate quickly

Cons

- Most of the leadership lacks technical data expertise which creates friction in the sales motions and positioning. - Currently a small total addressable market. EDB does not compete well with cloud competitors and primarily is geared towards on-prem Postgres in a market that continues to migrate to the cloud. - High turnover across the sales org. - Long, difficult sales motion accompanied by expectations for quick wins.
