Pros

- Interesting challenges to work on - Smart co-workers - Free lunch and dinner, free snacks and drinks

Cons

- Company growth has stagnated during past few years - Management and communication from the top is mediocre at best and at times incredibly poor - Co-CEOs often put delusional spin on lackluster results, coming off as desperate - Atmosphere is depressing - Plenty of places other than MemSQL where you can work on equally interesting challenges for better pay without all the downsides

Thank you for taking the time to leave your comments. We take all feedback from both current and former employees very seriously. We’re sorry to hear that your time with MemSQL did not meet your expectations. While I can’t speak for all the personal and professional growth of all our employees, I can refer you to this very timely article related to our recent fundraise (link pasted below). The article specifically references the very strong growth we’ve demonstrated over the past few years that allowed us to raise this money, as well as our unique positioning in the market, which we believe will enable us to continue being successful going forward. In regards to our communication, we are always trying to improve and we believe we’ve made great strides in recent months. We recently, this month, started a program to increase communications between HR and our people managers to ensure that our employees remain connected, wherever they are in the world. As I said above, we value all feedback from both current and former employees and encourage you to reach out to our HR team with any other feedback you may have that you didn’t get to share during your exit interview. https://techcrunch.com/2020/05/11/memsql-raises-50m-in-debt-facility-for-its-real-time-database-platform/

Pros

Great coworkers, collaborative culture, and a supportive team environment. I had the opportunity to work with talented people across sales, engineering, and leadership who were always willing to help. The company offers strong learning opportunities, especially for those interested in technology and

Cons

Focus on creating a culture where employees feel respected, supported, and valued. Take employee feedback seriously and hold managers and team leads accountable for how they interact with their teams. When employees raise concerns or ask for support, ensure those issues are addressed with meaningful action rather than being overlooked. Better communication, transparency, and leadership accountability would help build trust, improve morale, and strengthen employee retention.
