Broken Model, Toxic Culture - Anonymous employee EDB Employee Review

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your experience at EDB was a disappointing one. Feedback like this—whether positive or critical—matters deeply to us and helps inform how we grow as an organization. We acknowledge that EDB has undergone a significant amount of change in recent years, including leadership transitions, strategy shifts, and the evolving direction of our product offerings. These changes were driven by our desire to position EDB for long-term success and innovation in a rapidly transforming technology landscape. We recognize that this level of transformation can create uncertainty and fatigue, and we are committed to supporting our teams through it. Regarding our marketing and communications organizations specifically: culture, trust, and psychological safety are priorities, and we are actively working to foster inclusion, clarity, and accountability across all teams. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience did not reflect those goals. Favoritism, toxic behavior, or leadership driven by ego is not aligned with the values we hold ourselves to. If these concerns were experienced, they should have been—and still can be—raised through the appropriate channels internally or via our independent reporting mechanisms. As for our AI and data platform strategy: we are proud of the work our teams are doing to bring innovative capabilities to market, including through EDB Postgres and our efforts in sovereign data. We stand by our belief in the opportunity ahead, and we continue to engage closely with customers and partners as we refine and grow. We also take seriously any claims related to fairness, equity, or legal concerns, and investigate them thoroughly and respectfully when raised. EDB is a company in motion, and we are not perfect. But we are committed to learning, improving, and becoming a better place to work every day. For current employees who may share similar concerns, we encourage open dialogue with managers, HR, or any of our trusted internal channels. We value transparency, and we are listening. We wish you the best in your next chapter and thank you again for sharing your point of view.
