Pros

- Lots of nice people - Lots of big customers

Cons

- Office managers keep an eye on the clock; Comes from CEO - Cheapest company ever. Submitting hard copy of receipts via mail and not Expensify or some modern app, employees share gotomeeting accounts, a team to develop support site when they can easily use a service like Atlassian, developing unwanted stuff like intranet etc just to keep employees occupied, employees spend their own money for AWS, Azure etc and the list goes on.... - They never cared about giving proper wage and benefits for some of their most talented engineers in NY and they left. The office vibe in NY is sick and no one even goes out together. - They will never hire developers in USA because they are expensive and the CTO will come up with silly reasons to not hire - Half the people in US are still there because of VISA/GC or they are Spanish. - Stock options are literally 10K x No. of years you worked there. Not based on talent at all. - Compensation is also based on the no. Of years you have experience. Not based on talent. People who can talk and who are loyal get more salary, not those who innovate constantly - It’s a bureaucratic nightmare to get any real change done in this company and they are just looking for an exit in the next few years. Please avoid this company at any cost if you are in the top 10%

Pros

- It doesn't really matter, as the cons outweigh any positives, but: there are several brilliant and hard-working people there. Their dedication is the only thing keeping the company afloat.

Cons

- If you decide to leave the company, Denodo will refuse to pay any pending sales commissions they owe you. In my case, it was a considerable amount of money earned several months before my departure. The orders to withhold pay come straight from the top. They do this because they believe they can get away with it and trust former employees won't sue them. - Very poor leadership in upper management. Employees are not trusted to do the right thing and are heavily micromanaged (office attendance, working hours, management reporting, expenses, etc.), leading to a toxic work environment. - Compensation, time-off, perks, and benefits offered are below market level. - "Employee development" is not a thing. The company doesn't invest anything in employee education or training. Also, Denodo is not growing fast, so it doesn't offer a lot of options to advance in your career once you're in. - The technology is very niche (only useful in a handful of scenarios) and the business model is very antiquated, with rigid licensing and very traditional deployment strategies. The product is far behind current software industry standards and best practices.

Pros

Most of the people are nice

Cons

If there is one thing that can be said about this company it’s micromanagement. The CEO tries to control everything and it ends up terrible. The office managers harass you by making sure you are in the office from 9-6 whether you have work or not. Favoritism among Spanish people. Management threatens you if you try to make a genuine complaint. Stay away from this company.
