Pros

Engineering's flat hierarchy provides a lot of agency for devs at all seniority levels. The nature of the product—a distributed, scale-out, software defined file system—provides a lot of hard problems. Teams are cohesive and own their work collectively, supporting each of their members through success and failure. Your peers are actively interested in helping you grow with lots of quality feedback.

Cons

Management has a tendency to exercise our agile working style by shifting priorities and then getting upset about the resulting negative impact on teams' productivity. Engineering developed a detailed standardized rubric describing expected skills growth which your peers will evaluate you against but compensation updates feel very disconnected from that rubric and feedback. Cross-org issues don't have a process for improvement and a few specific voices often control the results of cross-org changes.

Pros

Qumulo has a long history of incredible hires. Smart people that are very passionate about what they do and how the customers benefit from the work they do. It's a very collaborative environment, people want to hear your ideas on how to improve the customer experience. Qumulo's CS team complete changed the way Enterprise technical support it delivered, and continues to be best in show when it comes to support delivery

Cons

There was a history of high turnover in marketing prior to 2023, very often that impacted multi-department and company wide efforts.

Pros

Large territories, no contention on account ownership at their size.

Cons

Small company problems. Core product not as differentiated as they would think. Lots of selling around feature gaps. High churn.
