Pros

MarkLogic has a phenomenal product and they invest in the employee. Their training program is very informative and detailed. The executive leadership are incredibly smart and personable. There are many smart and honest employees who work for MarkLogic. I enjoyed my conversations with Gary Bloom and found him to be inspirational. Adrian Carr, Joe Pasqua, David Gorbet, Ken Krupa and Chris Lindbaugh are all very hands on in the day to day operations of the company and are a pleasure to work with!

Cons

Everyone in a company is part of the sales team. It is imperative the direct sales team understand and can recite the corporate pitch. A new employee should be given time to understand the company, the culture, the resources, the product and the company pitch. The expectation a non-salesperson would learn it in a week or be fired is ridiculous! Hearing it is one thing, Delivering it so that it does not sound memorized and be subjectivly questioned on all the technical jargon behind the presentation is nearly impossible when you have not worked with the product.

Pros

They want what's best for me. They give me the personal time I need/want. The company is full of very smart people. The product is amazing.

Cons

The 401k is ridiculously low.

Pros

Free lunches were ok, would have been nice to have them more often as location of office was not ideal. Snacks provided were nice when you wanted a quick bite. Beer bashes are a snooze as it's never more than 10-15 people standing around waiting for the clock to strike 5. Receptionist was always helpful, too bad other support staff weren't. They do have some good, smart people but have gotten "comfortable" there and new, fresh ideas are starting to dry out. Benefits were standard, unlimited PTO was nice.

Cons

Saw many changes mainly in management and Exec team. Each change brought a different way of doing business and values, which often contradicted what was done before and lost some good people as a result (mainly in Engineering). Exec team seems to be very inconsistent in their message they give to employees. No transparency whatsoever, we're adults we can take the good and the bad news. HR has no idea what is going on...that is if you ever saw them around, had good people before that left and the ones that remain are clueless and not visible at all. Office is too big but no one is around to make it feel welcoming, or if they are they are all heads down in their cubicle (accounting). Doesn't feel warm or inviting. No room for growth or different opportunity within company, very limited. Have to move on to get paid what you're really worth.
