Real Startup! - Software Engineer QuestDB Employee Review

The work I do is right up my ally, keeps me interested and focused. The company culture, the way everyone communicates and supports each other, is second to none.

Haven't yet found any negatives worth mentioning.

Each team member is selected through a very rigorous process that is valuable for both sides. Successful final interviews are almost as great as the unsuccessful, which are very few (lots of filters). The team is like a family, lots of empathy, support and freedom. Complete flexibility of schedule, objective driven, async. A good setup for remote, with plenty opportunity to meet in person on demand. Each project is a challenge, it demands research, planning, execution, QA, delivery and support. The team owns all aspects in a flat hierarchy, where experience of particular individuals decides who leads. Projects have scopes that range from hours to months.

It may not be for everyone. Each questee is a high performing individual with lots of database systems development, in several programming languages, at a very low level... But also providing tooling, integration libraries, while continuously building a cloud where customers can use the product. While a large OSS community is supported and engaged.
