Pros
Amazing and solid technology, but that's about it.
Cons
High level of attrition/layoffs due to upper management's inability to focus on direction. Product marketing focus is technical with no message to business user.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at MapR Technologies full-time
Pros
Good work/life balance (if you know how to fight for your own good, don't be afraid to escalate to HR)
Cons
- Unfair performance evaluation: very very very little bonus (50% in stock which is basically no value) and it's not based on how good your performance is or how hard you work. It's literally based on management's discretion (aka if they like you or not, could be nothing even when you are a super star in the team).
- Layoffs: LOTS OF layoffs due to company not performing or even politics
- Security/Privacy: management overrides lots of internal controls in the company. Do not expect your email privacy is secured in this company.
- No room to grow: management is trying to secure their jobs so acting like control freak and unwilling to develop talented people.
- Lousy treatment when you give 2-week notice: they started to make you work EVERY single minute (even when you are sick or have emergency) and take away your bonus no matter how good your performance have been/how hard you have workedAdvice to Management
Look at the turnover rate . Be fair to the talents and you need to develop them.

Pros
Schroeder's technology vision
Very happy customers
Operational agility to make necessary changes to the business
Very smart peopleCons
There are some bullies among us
No women on the BoD or at the C-level, few women everywhere else - less than 20%
Culture doesn't seem to be valued by executives
No 401k matching
Ridiculously small bonus programAdvice to Management
Deal with the bullies, recruit more women, and let's either go public or sell this company.
