      Pros

      Postgres is a very popular database, and this company helps run Postgres in their companies

      Cons

      Where to start. There's a new CEO who wants to make this an "AI Company." He sounds smart, mostly because of his British accent, but clearly knows nothing about the technology we offer. Then there's the interim CMO. He's got some "frameworks" that he likes to talk about, but he doesn't seem to know what he is doing. He let go of some very good in-house resources in favor of much more expensive and less qualified outside resources. The result? Well, time will tell I guess? More money, less output, fewer qualified leads? Jury is still out I guess, but the "CMO" has made some very questionable decisions.

      Pros

      - Access to several great sales tools and platforms - Decent pay - EDB is well respected in the Postgres community - Working to innovate quickly

      Cons

      - Most of the leadership lacks technical data expertise which creates friction in the sales motions and positioning. - Currently a small total addressable market. EDB does not compete well with cloud competitors and primarily is geared towards on-prem Postgres in a market that continues to migrate to the cloud. - High turnover across the sales org. - Long, difficult sales motion accompanied by expectations for quick wins.
