Pros

interesting products smart and nice people

Cons

The new VP hire is a disaster. They're bringing in cutthroat Amazon culture, are pushing deadlines forward even when unrealistic and do not want to hear no. This attitude is now trickling down and making Couchbase a much worse place to work

Pros

I started recently with the company. Overall, onboarding was smooth. I received lots of great communication and documentation. My laptop arrived early so I was able to be ready for my remote onboarding session. Everyone I spoke with was nice, professional, and genuinely seemed to like their jobs and the people with whom they work.

Cons

Remote onboarding is always tough for making people connections, but it was not bad. I did have some tech issues but they were addressed and resolved quickly.
