Pros

- Large market with significant territory coverage per AE - Opportunity to work across SMB, mid-market, and enterprise segments. - Strong positioning as a pure open-source company, focused on Professional Services and database support

Cons

- Sales quotas appear unrealistic considering the limited investment in marketing, events, and local presence outside of the United States. - The absence of a local legal entity in several regions makes it difficult to engage with large enterprises, particularly as contracts are governed exclusively under US law (MSA). - While the company culture presents itself as open and transparent, internal decision-making can feel highly political. - Pricing strategy lacks consistency across regions. Differences between US and EMEA pricing policies can create friction, and discount flexibility appears limited. Additionally, the high cost of support services can make sales efforts more challenging. - Work–life balance may be impacted due to frequent meetings scheduled around US time zones. - In certain countries (outside the US, India, and Ireland), employment structures may require individuals to operate through their own legal entity, which can involve additional administrative and financial responsibilities, as well as limited access to traditional employment benefits.
