Pros

People in the front line work hard and are great people

Cons

"ceo" is a joke. He's an engineer by trade but is learning on the job without the "learning". He's political and cannot be trusted. He lies to customers, investors, employees. Product was never ready when coming out of stealth in 2016. He lied to prospects about having existing customers that didn't exist. Only had companies testing it out by proof of concepts but he tells everyone how Datera has customers. That deception also is used to his employees. He insisted my accounts to be listed as customers when they have not bought. Look at the past to see how many executives have quit Datera and also many engineers and sales that have quit. The president quit after 6 months. Sales management quit. it's a toxic environment due to the ceo.

Pros

Used to have a great team. very talented. friday - free cheese platter and some alcohol with motivating talk small team - so chance to learn how a startup works loads of development to be done. sort of ok health benefits - nothing great - but not bad either

Cons

ego clashes, too much politics for a small company too many people fired extremely horrible management - or the lack of it completely too many people doing the same thing junior people getting scape goated. extremely slow code approval for a startup big gap between marketing and engineering sub market payment super stingy founder who keeps complaining about over paying when employees are actually underpaid. diluting stocks. a few of the senior technical staff lived in the past victories - super fluff for today
