Pros

The people prior to July 2023 are amazing people to work with. The engineering team is exemplary and support (for the customer) is the best I have experienced in a 10+ year career.

Cons

New leadership charging in on the "AI" horse does not understand the market and the potential value prop for Postgres. Sales leadership in North America is the most toxic I have experienced in a sales careeer that includes major organizations like Oracle. To say EDB is toxic compared to Oracle should make you pause.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate your decade of service and your recognition of the outstanding work from our engineering and customer support teams. We’re proud of the strong technical foundation and customer-first culture that has been built over the years at EDB. We’re sorry to hear that your more recent experience was not positive. Leadership transitions and strategic shifts—especially in a fast-moving space like AI and open source—can create disruption. We are committed to navigating this change thoughtfully while continuing to deliver value to our customers and maintaining a culture where our people can thrive. We take concerns around culture and toxicity very seriously. While we don’t comment on individual personnel matters, we continually seek input from employees through multiple channels, and we use that feedback to guide improvements. We wish you all the best in your next chapter and thank you again for your contributions to EDB.

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.
